GRIP DC-8 DROPSONDE V3

The GRIP DC-8 Dropsonde V3 dataset consists of atmospheric pressure, dry-bulb temperature, dew point temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, and fall rate measurements taken during 16 research flights during the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) campaign from August 17, 2010 to September 22, 2010. The GRIP campaign was conducted to better understand how tropical storms form and how these storms develop into major hurricanes. The DC-8 Airborne Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS) deploys integrated, highly accurate, GPS-located atmospheric profiling dropsondes to measure and record current atmospheric conditions in a vertical column below the aircraft. The dropsondes are ejected from a tube in the underside of the DC-8 aircraft. As the dropsonde descends to the surface via a parachute, it continuously measures and transmits data to the aircraft using a 400 MHz meteorological band telemetry link. Pressure, temperature and relative humidity, as well as GPS-based wind data were collected from 328 dropsondes. These Dropsonde data are in ASCII-csv file format.

GRIP DC-8 气溶胶探测仪 V3 数据集由大气压力、干球温度、露点温度、相对湿度、风向、风速和下降速率等参数组成，这些参数是在2010年8月17日至9月22日期间，于GRIP（生成和快速增强过程）战役中的16次研究飞行中收集的。GRIP战役旨在深入探究热带气旋的形成机制以及这些气旋如何发展成为重大飓风。DC-8机载垂直大气剖面系统（AVAPS）部署了集成的、高精度的、GPS定位的大气剖面气溶胶探测仪，以测量并记录飞机下方垂直柱状大气中的当前状态。气溶胶探测仪从DC-8飞机底部管道中被发射出去。在降落伞的引导下，气溶胶探测仪下降至地表，并持续通过400 MHz气象频段的遥测链路向飞机传输数据。收集到的数据包括压力、温度、相对湿度以及基于GPS的风数据，共计328个气溶胶探测仪。这些气溶胶探测数据以ASCII-csv文件格式存储。
