NRL P-3 NCAR/EOL Dropsonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/110.078

Summary
Dropsonde sounding profiles released from the NRL P-3 aircraft during the
T-PARC (THORPEX Pacific Asian Regional Campaign 2008) experiment (12 August to
4 October 2008). These data have been quality controlled by NCAR/EOL and are
in the EOL Sounding Format (columnar ASCII). This data set was updated 31
August 2009 with a new version. See the documentation file for a complete
description of the changes.
