https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/354.005

Summary
This dataset contains the cloud particle size and miscellaneous aircraft data
from the Kuwait Oil-Fire Smoke Experiment (KOFSE) collected from the
University of Washington's C-131A aircraft. Data were collected from 16 May
1991 to 12 June 1991 (flights 1477-1491). Data files are in ASCII format.
