NASA DC-8 NOAA CSD PALMS Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/353.164

Summary
This data set contains NASA DC-8 data that were obtained with the Particle
Analysis by Laser Mass Spectrometry (PALMS) instrument during the Deep
Convective Clouds and Chemistry Experiment (DC3) from 4 May 2012 through 22
June 2012. This instrument measured either the positive or negative ion
spectrum of each particle after it is hit with a pulse from a 193 nm excimer
laser. This data set is in ICARTT format. Please see the header portion of the
data files for details on instruments, parameters, quality assurance, quality
control, contact information, and data set comments.
