USAF C-130 Vortex Observation GTS Messages https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/209.092 Summary This data set includes all of the Vortex messages from the two USAF C-130 aircraft that flew during the ITOP field program. The C-130 aircraft were based out of Guam and flew around tropical systems in the western Pacific Ocean during August-October 2010. The data are in the GTS Vortex message format and contain information about the center of tropical circulations flown by the USAF C-130 aircraft. NCAR/EOL have conducted no quality control on these data files.
