NASA DC-8 NCAR/EOL Dropsonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/501.001

Summary
Dropsonde sounding profile data from the NASA DC-8 medium altitude research
aircraft. A total of 95 dropsonde soundings were collected during 11 research
flights primarily off the west coast of Central and South America. All 95
quality-controlled soundings are contained in the final dropsonde data set.
