  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.
