NASA ER-2 Quality Controlled Dropsonde Data (NCAR/ATD)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/208.002

Summary
Dropsonde data from the NASA ER-2 research aircraft, collected by the NCAR
Airborne Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS) during the Cirrus
Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers - Florida Area Cirrus
Experiment (CRYSTAL-FACE). A total of 47 quality-controlled soundings in the
NCAR CLASS format are contained in the final dropsonde data set.
