This data came from an investigation of an experimental laser at Bellcore. It was a tunable laser, in the sense that both its wavelength and power output were controllable.
This data set is a subset of the data from the 2006 ASA Data expo challenge, http://stat-computing.org/dataexpo/2006/. The data are monthly ozone averages on a very coarse 24 by 24 grid covering Central America, from Jan 1995 to Dec 2000. The data is stored in a 3d area with the first two dimensions representing latitude and longitude, and the third representing time.
This is a subset of data taken from the NOAA web site http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao/. The data is generated from recording instruments on a grid of buoys laid out over the Pacific Ocean. The grid was setup to monitor El Nino and La Nina events. This subset contains measurements from 5 locations (0deg/110W, 2S/110W, 0deg/95W,2S/95W,5S/95W) and two time points Nov-Jan 1993 (normal), 1997 (El Nino). There are missing values in this data set, which need to be removed, or imputed before running a tour.

This data is from a paper by Forina, Armanino, Lanteri, Tiscornia (1983) Classification of Olive Oils from their Fatty Acid Composition, in Martens and Russwurm (ed) Food Research and Data Anlysis. We thank Prof. Michele Forina, University of Genova, Italy for making this dataset available.

Ratings of different locations across North America
The "places data" were distribed to interested ASA members a few years ago so that they could apply contemporary data analytic methods to describe these data and then present results in a poster session at the ASA annual conference. Latitude and longitude have been added by Paul Tukey.
