NASA DC-8 Advanced Microwave Moisture Sounder (AMMS) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/80.019

Summary
This data set contains the microwave brightness temperatures from the Advanced
Microwave Moisture Sounder (AMMS) that was on-board the NASA DC-8 aircraft
that flew out of Townsville, Australia during the TOGA COARE field project.
For TOGA COARE the AMMS was combined with other radiometers in the same
aircraft to measure the radiometric response of convective rainfall systems in
the frequency range of 10-183 GHz. The data are in an ASCII format.
