NOAA N43 P-3 Flight Level Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/88.185

Summary
This dataset contains 1 second files and 10 second files N43RF P-3 flight
level data collected during Katrina, Ophelia, and Rita. To use NetCDF (.nc)
files, you will need to employ the software available on the UCAR NetCDF
website. To use the Standard Tape image (.std) files, you can read the format
description and download code to read the files at the NOAA Standard tape
website. There are columnar ascii files for some flights as well - these are
self-expanatory.
