Cayenne French Doppler Radar RASTA Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/486.016

Summary
This dataset contains the RASTA data from the High Altitude Ice Crystals -
High Ice Water Content (HAIC-HIWC) project that took place in Cayenne, French
Guiana. The data is the 95 GHz cloud radar, microphysics and wind data from
the French Falcon aircraft, operated by SAFIRE, during 17 of the flights flown
during the project. The data is in netCDF and png formats.
