Low Rate (LRT - 1 sps) Navigation, State Parameter, and Microphysics
Flight-Level Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/429.002

Summary
This data set includes airborne measurements obtained from the NSF/NCAR
QueenAir, B-80 aircraft (Tail Number N306D) during the Lake Effect Snow Storms
- 1980 (LESS-80) project. This dataset contains low rate navigation, state
parameter, and microphysics flight-level data in netCDF format.
