NASA DC-8 Airborne Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (AMMR) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/80.018

Summary
This data set contains the microwave brightness temperatures from the Airborne
Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (AMMR) that was on-board the NASA DC-8
aircraft that flew out of Townsville, Australia during the TOGA COARE field
project. For TOGA COARE the AMMR was used for measurements of hydrometeors
associated with tropical convective systems. The data are in an ASCII format.
