Aircraft data obtained from WP-3D, C131A, and Twin Otter flights over the Leadex ice camp region during the period 30 Mar-23 Apr 92 are presented. The data include tracks and times of all aircraft flights; plots and tabulations of dropsonde data acquired from the NOAA WP-3D aircraft; WP-3D weather observer inflight logs and satellite images for each flight; spectral optical depth measurements; strip chart plots of meteorological data from the C131A and Twin Otter aircraft; and selected temperature soundings acquired during respective aircraft ascents and descents. This document is Part 3 of a series of Leadex data compilation reports. Part 1 provides weather analyses, forecast products, and selected satellite images for each day of Leadex. Part 2 contains rawinsonde plotted and tabular data from Deadhorse, Alaska, and the Leadex ice camp, plus ice station (buoy) data from four locations around the ice camp, at frequent intervals. Leadex, Arctic leads, Beaufort Sea, Sea ice data. See also Part 1, ADA263217.
