Meteorological and Navigation (Met/Nav) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/567.010

Summary
This dataset contains Meteorological and Navigation (Met/Nav) data collected
on the NASA DC-8 aircraft from the High Ice Water Content (HIWC) Radar Study
project that took place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Palmdale, California; and
Kona, Hawaii. The data are in tar format by day.
