USAF C-130 Dropsonde TEMPDROP Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/209.001

Summary
TEMPDROP messages from the dropsondes released by the two USAF C-130 aircraft
that flew during the ITOP field program. The C-130 aircraft were based out of
Guam and flew around tropical systems in the western Pacific Ocean during
August-October 2010. The data files are in the GTS TEMPDROP format and contain
the mandatory and significant level observations from the USAF C-130
dropsondes. NCAR/EOL have conducted no quality control on these data files.
