NCAR/NSF C-130 Low Rate (1 sps) Navigation, State Parameter, and Microphysics Flight-Level Data [NCAR/EOL]

Project:

ACME

Summary

This data set includes airborne measurements obtained from the NSF/NCAR Research Aviation Facility (RAF) C-130Q Hercules aircraft (Tail Number N130AR) during the "Airborne Carbon in the Mountains Experiment" project which took place from 14 May 2004 to 2 August 2004. This data set contains the Low-Rate (LRT, 1 Sample Per Second) production data set. The files are in netCDF format.
