Wyoming Particle Counter (WPC) Stratospheric Aerosol Concentration Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/221.004

Summary
This data set contains stratospheric aerosol concentration measurements from
the University of Wyoming Particle Counters (WPCs) flown on the long duration
balloon platforms released from McMurdo Station in Antarctica. The data are in
a comma-delimited ASCII format and browse image files in postscript are also
included. The data were provided by Terry Deshler at the University of
Wyoming. The final cleaned version of this data set was released on 6 November
2014.
