Algorithm for Prediction of HIWC Areas (ALPHA) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/486.021

Summary
This dataset contains Algorithm for the Prediction of High Ice Water Content
(HIWC) Areas (ALPHA) from the High Altitude Ice Crystals - High Ice Water
Content (HAIC-HIWC) project that took place in Cayenne, French Guiana. The
data was created by the HIWC team at the National Center for Atmospheric
Research (NCAR) and is contained in tar files by day.
