NASA GASP (Global Atmospheric Sampling Program) Aircraft Observations, 1975Mar-1979Jul

This dataset contains flight-level aircraft measurements from five GASP aircraft during the period of March 1975 to July 1979. Parameters measured by the aircraft include various meteorological variables, ozone, carbon monoxide and particle densities, and flight information. The data records are in ASCII format, and are a constant length of 512 bytes.
