Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/96.010

Summary
This satelite data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) looks down at
the Earth and measures the infrared brightness of the atmosphere. This dataset
contains daily AIRS netCDF data files of temperatures and pressure for the
time period of the 2007 PACific Dust EXperiment (PACDEX).
