MP3 University of Wisconsin SPARC AERIoe Thermodynamic Profile Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.075

Summary
This data set contains retrieved temperature and water vapor profiles and
single-layer liquid cloud properties at five minute intervals (using the
AERIoe algorithm) from the AERI (Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer)
that was on-board the PECAN Mobile PISA 3 University of Wisconsin-Madison
SPARC vehicle. The data are in NetCDF format and includes observations from
locations around the central United States for most of the PECAN IOPs and UFOs
from 2 June to 16 July 2015.
