  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 Office of Field Project 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.

  Information about, and data from, the MODIS Airborne Simulator multispectral  
scanner.                                                                        
                                                                                
                                                       
  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.
