The text files containing the 10 s averaged data from Missions 02-13 (August 02- 17, 1991) have a small information header. In the information header is the following (in order as seen in the text file): Study Name Date mission (one mission per day) averaging time (10 s) number of rows number of columns Beginning and End Hour (GMT) Beginning and End Minute Beginning and End Second Beginning and End Latitude (degree N are positive) Beginning and End Longitude (degrees E of Greenwich) " " Altitude (m) " " Presure (mbars) " " Temperature (Celcius) " " Dew Point (Celcius) " " Aerosol Scattering (x10^-4 inverse meters) " " Ozone (ppbv) " " SO2 (ppbv) " " NOx (ppbv) " " NOx (ppbv) " " CO (ppbv) " " CO2 (ppmv) " " ASASP Aerosol total number density, #/cc (0.1-3 microns) " " FSSP Aerosol total number density, #/vol (3-47 microns)--uncorrected " " MFM1 Mass flow meter for pump drawing air for inorganic aerosol filter " " MFM2 Mass flow meter for pump drawing air for organic aerosol filter " " PSP Top (W/m^2); upward looking radiometer (broadband, shortwave radiation) " " PSP Bottom (W/m^2); downward looking radiometer (broadband, shortwave rad.)

Columns of data follow this header. The column number is equal to the sequence listed in the header starting with Hour GMT (e.g., the first column is the hour variable, the second is the minute, etc..). The number of rows are the number of data points in the 10 s averaged file. The number -99.00 is the real number used to indicate no data. However, CO2 data is often just a constant number(e.g., 151 throughout Mission 02) for the entire mission. This is equivalent to -99.00 in this case. It was just not corrected to list a -99.00. Also, the integer -99 is equivalent to -99.00. The first column of NOx data is for an instrument that was not working properly. It is the O3 chemiluminescence detection NOx instrument; due to the malfunction of this instrument, the luminox NOx instrument was set to NO+NO2 mode to detect NOx. It is my suggestion that you remove the first column of NOx data corresponding to the O3 chemiluminescence detection NOx instrument. The columns is not also changed to -99, but even when values are listed they do not appear to be accurate. The data for the CO2 instrument are reliable for missions 04,05,06,09 and 10. Disregard the other missions' data for CO2. The data is believed to be faulty even when no -99 is listed for the data except for the missions listed above. FSSP total number and ASASP total number density is a summation of the 15 channels of each instrument. Each channel is for a certain size, but this file only lists the total number density in the size range of all the bins. FSSP, however, must be corrected. The correct value for FSSP is calculated by dividing FSSP by 36.7. This gives the value in #/cc similiar to ASASP units. The correction is needed to account for aircraft speed (e.g., air flow) and intake area. The radiometers are broadband which means they cover a wide range of wavelengths of radiation. PSP covers UV and visible while the PIR measured infared radiation The radiometer data is not corrected for the pitch and roll of the aircraft The necessary information to correct for the aircraft attitude will be included in the 1s data files. My work has suggested that the correction is largely unecessary except when the G-1 was banking into a turn, which generally occured outside the plume (e.g., necessary to get an accurate background reading).
