NSF/NCAR C130 Radar, Lidar and Radiometer Integrated Dataset
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/89.159

Summary
This data set consists of Integrated Data of remotely-sensed cloud variables
from cloud radar, lidar and millimeter-wave radiometer taken aboard the NCAR
C-130 during the VOCALS project. An integrated data file in netCDF format has
been created for each flight. Flight dates and times are displayed when
ordering. The Principle Investigators request that the use of this data be
acknowledged within any publication and the appropriate contact person
notified. Use of the GVR data should also include a citation to the
publication mentioned in the WCRWCLGVRreadme.text file.
