NSF/NCAR C-130 Wyoming Cloud Lidar (WCL) Aerosol Spatial Distribution Images
and Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/220.040

Summary
This dataset contains Wyoming Cloud Lidar (WCL) gif images to show aerosol
spatial distributions and text files with dust aerosol flag near the flight
level. This is preliminary data collected for the period of the Ice in Clouds
Experiment - Tropical (ICE-T) project. See the readme file for more
information.
