NCAR/NSF C-130 Low Rate (1 sps) Navigation, State Parameter, and Microphysics
Flight-Level Data [NCAR/EOL]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/72.110

Summary
This data set includes airborne measurements obtained from the NSF/NCAR
Research Aviation Facility (RAF) C-130Q Hercules aircraft (Tail Number N130AR)
during the "Eastern Pacific Investigation of Climate" project which took place
from 1 September 2001 to 15 October 2001. This data set contains the Low-Rate
(LRT, 1 Sample Per Second) production data set. The files are in netCDF
format.
