Airccraft Campaign Data over the Northeastern Marcellus Shale, May-June 2015

These data were collected aboard a NOAA Twin Otter aircraft based in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in May and June of 2015. Research flights covered the Marcellus Shale region in northeastern Pennsylvania. This dataset is comprised of continuous measurements of CH4, CO2, CH4, H2O mole fractions from a Picarro cavity ring-down spectromer operated by the NOAA ESRL group, and C2H6 mole fractions from an Aerodyne laser absorption spectromoter operated by the University of Michigan group. Other paramters reported in this dataset are GPS location, course over ground, ground elevation, wind speed and direction, and ambient temperature, pressure and relative humidity. All measurements are given to the nearest 1-second.
