Army Research Laboratory's Atmospheric Profiler Research Facility.
Real-time, hour-averaged, qc'd, surface to stratosphere profiles of
wind, temperature, and optical/radar turbulence from the Atmospheric
Profiler Research Facility, White Sands, New Mexico. Archives back
through 1994.
This site is scheduled to close down in September 1996.

UCAR Joint Office for Science Support. A large number of datasets
from various field projects and research programs, including CEPEX,
GCIP, STORM-FEST, TOGA-COARE, are available via "CODIAC" -- The
Cooperative Distributed Interactive Atmospheric Catalog.

Many types of atmospheric measurements and supporting data from the
Persian Gulf region during the Kuwait oil well fires (1991).
Inventory includes aircraft measurements of particulates, chemistry,
radiation, and state parameters, surface-based meteorological, air
quality, and radiation measurements, model output grids, and digital
satellite images from NOAA and DMSP polar orbiters.

The US Department of Energy's Airborne Multisensor Pod System (AMPS)
collects a variety of data from multiple sensors mounted on a modified
Lockheed RP-3A. Currently the sensors include Synthetic Aperture
Radar (SAR) and MultiSensor Imaging (MSI) pods; Effluent Species
Identification (ESI) pod is currently under construction. Information
about the AMPS project and data is available.

Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar
(SIR-C/X-SAR) flew on space shuttle Endeavour on two missions in 1994.
Images from these flights, and information about the instrument.
