SPICULE: Sample Rate (SRT) Navigation, State Parameter, and Microphysics Flight-Level Data

Summary

This data set includes airborne measurements obtained from the NSF/NCAR HIAPER GV aircraft (Tail Number N677F) during the SPICULE project. This dataset contains sample rate navigation, state parameter, and microphysics flight-level data in netCDF format. These are PRELIMINARY FIELD-PHASE data and are not for publication. Final, production data (with calibrated values in engineering units) having the highest-quality that RAF can provide will be available within 6 months of the end of the project.
