NSSL Balloon-Borne Electric Field Meter (EFM) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/622.012

Summary
Balloon-borne Electric Field Meters (EFMs) were launched into lake effect snow
bands during LEE to measure the electric field associated with these storms.
The balloon-borne EFM provides in-situ measurements of a storm’s vertical and
horizontal electric field. The combination of the spin (powered by the
instrument) and rotation (caused by lift through the storm) provides the
modulation that enables measurement of the electric field. 8 different EFMs,
flown multiple times, were developed and maintained by the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration / Office of Atmospheric Research / National
Severe Storms Laboratory, OU / CIWRO, and TTU staff. Data set includes binary
data files for each launch during the field project.
