DLR Falcon NCAR/EOL Dropsonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/110.091

Summary
NCAR/EOL Dropsondes released from the DLR Falcon aircraft during the T-PARC
(THORPEX Pacific Asian Regional Campaign 2008) experiment (25 August to 1
October 2008). The DLR Falcon was based out of Atsugi Naval Air Station
located near Tokyo, Japan. These data have been quality controlled by NCAR/EOL
and are in the EOL Sounding Format (columnar ASCII).
