Low Rate (LRT - 1 sps) Navigation, State Parameter, and Microphysics Flight-Level Data

Project:

Summary

This data set includes airborne measurements obtained from the NSF/NCAR C-130 aircraft (Tail Number N130AR) during the CAESAR project. This dataset contains low rate navigation, state parameter, and microphysics flight-level data in netCDF format.

Versions
  • 0.1 (2024-04-19):

    Field data

  • 0.2 (2024-05-06):

    Field data merged with the HVPS and F2DS data

  • 0.3 (2024-07-25):

    Corrected UHSAS data

  • 1.0 (2024-10-08):

    This release does not contain WVISO or CVI data

  • 1.1 (2024-10-29):

    WVISO and CVI data included. Quality flag added for winds, WINDSFLG.

  • 1.2 (2024-11-06):

    Removed six raw uncalibrated CVI variables from the existing data files.

  • 1.3 (2025-02-19):

    This release updates calibrations for the VCSEL hygrometer.  This was the primary water vapor pressure (EW) and dew point measurement (DP), so this rippled through derived parameters that use EW or DP.  You can expect 10%-30% value changes in EW, DP, mixing ratio (MR) and Aerodyne H2O measurement.
