IAGOS-CARIBIC MS files collection (v2025.03.25)

Content

IAGOS-CARIBIC_MS_files_collection_20250325.zip contains merged IAGOS-CARIBIC data, on a 10s grid (CARIBIC-1 and CARIBIC-2; ). There is one netCDF (version 4) file per IAGOS-CARIBIC flight. Files were generated from NASA Ames 1001 source files. For detailed content information, see global and variable attributes. Global attribute `na_file_header` contains the original NASA Ames file header as an array of strings.

Data Coverage

The data set covers 22 years of CARIBIC data from 1997 to 2020, flight numbers 1 to 591. There is no data available after 2020. Also, there is no data available for the following flight numbers within the [1..591] range:

CARIBIC-1, 1997-2002, 1-97: 4, 5, 6, 21, 28, 30, 31, 32, 38, 39, 73, 81, 83, 91, 95

98 to 109 do not exist

CARIBIC-2, 2005-2020, 110-591: 217, 276, 277, 318, 320, 410, 411, 412, 425, 426, 427, 428, 434, 435 436

Special note on CARIBIC-1 data

CARIBIC-1 data only contains a subset of the variables found in CARIBIC-2 data files. To distinguish those two campaigns, use the global attribute 'mission'.
