https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/600.011

Summary
Vaisala C51 ceilometer data products collected by the EOL/Integrated Sounding
System group during the Sundowner Wind EXperiment (SWEX) field campaign in
Santa Barbara, CA. The instrument was mounted on the ISS2 trailer located at
the Rancho Alegre site. Data are available in raw ASCII DAT format and in
netCDF format. DAT files are ordered as a single compressed tar.gz file.
netCDf files were created by the Vaisala BLView software. Preview plots are
available.
