Summary
This dataset contains flight and meteorological background information in the
form of a four panel image for each flight. The panels are as follows: Upper
left: 3D GV flight track with the tropopause. The thermal tropopause is shown
in yellow, the 2 pvu surface is shown in purple. Jet streams are shown in
blue. The flight track is colored by the ozone value. Lower left: GV ground
track in Google Earth. Lat/Lon for the major way points are given. Upper
right: space-time interpolated curtain along the flight track (in UT time).
Meteorological variables included are: static stability in potential
temperature lapse rate (color image), potential vorticity (purple), wind speed
(thick black), isentropes (thin black). Vertical coordinates are pressure
altitude (km, left) and pressure (log scale, right) Lower right: 3D GV track
with map. Vertical coordinates are in Kft. Additional pages with measurement
information will be included in the next version.
