DC-8 Meteorological and Navigation Data CPEX-AW

The DC-8 Meteorological and Navigation Data CPEX-AW dataset is a subset of airborne measurements that include GPS positioning and trajectory data, aircraft orientation, and atmospheric state measurements of temperature, pressure, water vapor, and horizontal winds. These measurements were taken from the NASA DC-8 aircraft during the Convective Processes Experiment – Aerosols & Winds (CPEX-AW) field campaign. CPEX-AW was a joint effort between the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) with the primary goal of conducting a post-launch calibration and validation activities of the Atmospheric Dynamics Mission-Aeolus (ADM-AEOLUS) Earth observation wind Lidar satellite in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Data are available from August 17, 2021 through September 4, 2021 in ASCII format.

DC-8气象与导航数据集CPEX-AW系空中测量数据的子集，包含全球定位系统（GPS）定位与轨迹数据、飞机姿态以及温度、压力、水汽和水平风速等大气状态测量值。这些测量数据源自美国国家航空航天局（NASA）的DC-8飞机，在降雨过程实验-气溶胶与风向（CPEX-AW）实地考察期间采集。CPEX-AW为美国国家航空航天局（NASA）与欧洲航天局（ESA）联合开展的项目，旨在对圣克洛伊美属维尔京群岛的地球观测风激光雷达卫星大气动力学任务-爱俄罗斯（ADM-AEOLUS）的发射后校准与验证活动进行实施。数据以ASCII格式提供，时间范围为2021年8月17日至2021年9月4日。
