NCAR/NSF C-130 Differential GPS Data [NCAR/EOL] https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/87.061 Summary This dataset contains Differential GPS data collected from the NCAR/NSF C-130Q aircraft during the RICO field project. Differential GPS (DGPS) data are time series of three-dimensional airplane coordinates that provide increased accuracy and precision compared to standard GPS measurements.
