VOCALS: CIRPAS Twin Otter 1 Hz Boundary Layer Turbulence Data

Summary

This dataset contains the CIRPAS Twin Otter Boundary Layer Turbulence (1 Hz) data collected during the VAMOS Ocean-Cloud Atmosphere-Land Study (VOCALS) campaign. The University of California Irvine data files from the 19 flights are in MATLAB binary format (*.mat). The 1-Hz data files also include 1-Hz averaged variables.
