Here's a brief free-form tutorial on how to decipher the MTP data:
Data groups consist of the following group of lines per 15-second observing cycle.
First line is: UTstart, number of retrieval levels, UTend, UTmid, Pressure Altitude, Pitch, Roll, Outside air temp (K), tropopause altitude #1 (km), tropopause altitude #2 (km) [if present], potential temperatures of tropopause #1 and #2, latitude, longitude, & lapse rate near flight level.
Remaining set of lines for each cycle consist of 5 columns: col#1 is pressure altitude (meters), col#2 is temperature from MTP (Kelvin), col#3 is temperature error estimate (K), col#4 is geometric altitude (meters), based on GPS altitude (meters), and col#5 is molecular air density [1E+21/m3].
