NSF/NCAR C-130 Raw SPEC 2D-S Imagery (RAF OAP .2d format)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/105.288

Summary
A 2D-S instrument contains two 2D probes which image particles as they pass
through beams that are oriented orthogonally to each other and the airflow. If
particles also lie in the intersection of the sensitive areas of the two
beams, they are seen by both 2D probes. This dataset contains 2D-S imagery
collected aboard the NSF/NCAR C-130 during the ICE-L project using the SPEC
2D-S (Stereo) probe. The original files have been processed so that they are
compatible with xpms2d software. All files reflect UTC time.
