Lear QC Dropsonde Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/77.016

Summary
Dropsonde profiles from the Lear aircraft collected during the International
H2O Project 2002 (IHOP 2002). The dropsonde data was provided by NCAR/ATD (aka
EOL). The Lear made drops on May 14th, 15th, 16th, the 22nd, and 24th and on
June 3rd, 8th thru 12th, 15th thru 20th,the 22nd,and 24th thru 25th 2002. An
important note to users: ATD reprocessed this data and released a new version
of this dataset on May 1st,2003. See ATD Reprocessing. Consult the README for
more information. September 2008: The IHOP_2002 Falcon and Lear dropsonde data
sets have been updated to include latitude and longitude data that were not in
the earlier version. The PTH and wind data are unchanged.
