University of Wyoming King Air Compact Raman Lidar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.087

Summary
This data set contains the observations from the Compact Raman Lidar (CRL)
that was deployed on the University of Wyoming King Air for PECAN. The CRL
provided water vapor, temperature, and aerosol profiles along the King Air
flight track. The King Air flew at locations around the central United States
during PECAN observing periods. This data set includes the CRL data for each
flight, sample IDL code to read and plot the data, as well as quicklook
imagery for each flight.
