NOAA N43 P-3 Flight Level Data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/88.185 Summary This dataset contains 1 second files and 10 second files N43RF P-3 flight level data collected during Katrina, Ophelia, and Rita. To use NetCDF (.nc) files, you will need to employ the software available on the UCAR NetCDF website. To use the Standard Tape image (.std) files, you can read the format description and download code to read the files at the NOAA Standard tape website. There are columnar ascii files for some flights as well - these are self-expanatory.
