Navigation, State Parameter, and Microphysics Low Rate (LRT - 1 sps)
Flight-Level Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/113.063

Summary
This dataset includes low rate navigation, state parameter, and microphysics
flight-level data collected by the NSF/NCAR C-130 during the Profiling of
Winter Storms (PLOWS) project. The data are in NetCDF format and are available
for 18 flights. These files do NOT currently contain TDL data. That data will
be merged at a later date and users who have ordered this dataset will be
notified.
