Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) Dust Aerosol Optical Thickness Imagery V1

The Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) Dust Aerosol Optical Thickness Imagery dataset consists of browse only imagery showing dust aerosol optical thickness and wind speed/direction from the Goddard Earth Observing System Model, version 5 (GEOS-5). These data are used to see how the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) affects hurricane development during the Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) field campaign. Goals for the HS3 field campaign included assessing the relative roles of large-scale environmental and storm-scale internal processes, addressing the controversial role of the SAL in tropical storm formation and intensification, and the role of deep convection in the inner-core region of storms. The browse only data files are available for dates between August 11, 2014 and October 5, 2014 at 3-hour intervals in PNG format.

《飓风与强风暴监测计划（HS3）全球建模与同化办公室（GMAO）粉尘气溶胶光学厚度影像数据集》由仅浏览的影像组成，展示了来自戈达德地球观测系统模型第5版（GEOS-5）的粉尘气溶胶光学厚度和风速/风向。这些数据用于观察撒哈拉气层（SAL）如何在飓风与强风暴监测计划（HS3）实地考察期间影响飓风的发展。HS3实地考察的目标包括评估大规模环境过程与风暴尺度内部过程的相对作用，探讨SAL在热带风暴形成和增强中的争议性角色，以及深对流在风暴核心区的作用。仅浏览数据文件以PNG格式提供，时间范围为2014年8月11日至2014年10月5日，每隔3小时更新一次。
