NCAR/EOL AVAPS Electra Dropsonde Profiles
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/224.002

Summary
Dropsonde profile data collected by the NSF/NCAR L188 Electra aircraft during
the Snowband Dynamics (SNOWBAND) project that took place concurrently with the
Lake-ICE project. A total of 62 dropsondes were launched, of which 55 profiles
are quality controlled and publicly available.
