NOAA P-3 Dropsonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/488.017

Summary
This data set contains the dropsonde data from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) P-3 for flights into the tropical systems of
interest to the Tropical Cyclone Intensity (TCI) field project. The storms
included are Erika from the 2015 Atlantic region, Patricia from the 2015
Eastern Pacific region, and Matthew from the 2016 Atlantic region. These data
are in ASCII formats.
