NCAR/NSF C-130 Navigation, State Parameter, and Microphysics LRT Data - 1 sps [EOL]

Project:

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 "Rain In Cumulus over the Ocean" project which took place from 7 December 2004 to 24 January 2005. This data set contains the Low-Rate (LRT, 1 Sample Per Second) production data set. The LRT Bitfile log lists times and dates of individual flights.

  • 1.1 (2022-06-01):

    Processing Update:  

    • Correction to 2DC and 2DP data from previous merge. There is an updated algorithm in nimbus resulting in 2DC concentrations 20% higher and 2DP concentrations 20% to 80% higher.
    • FSSP: Removed overflow & coincidence correction resulting in approximately 10% reduction in total concentrations and liquid water.
    • 260X: Updated FirstBin from 1 to 5 resulting in a reduction in total concentrations ranging from 20% to 90% in total concentrations. 
    • Liquid water remains similar to the prior version of the data, as most 260x water is generally in bins 5 and larger.

    Please contact Chris Webster (cjw@ucar.edu) with any questions regarding this update.
