CYCLES-79: Low Rate (LRT - 1 sps) Navigation, State Parameter, and Microphysics Flight-Level Data

Summary

This data set includes airborne measurements obtained from the NSF/NCAR L188 Electra aircraft (Tail Number N308D) operated by NCAR from 1978-2000. This dataset contains low rate navigation, state parameter, and microphysics flight-level data in netCDF format collected during the CYCLES-79 project.
