ACES CONTINUOUS DATA V1

The ALTUS Cloud Electrification Study (ACES) was based at the Naval Air Facility Key West in Florida. During August, 2002, ACES researchers conducted overflights of thunderstorms over the southwestern corner of Florida. For the first time in NASA research, an uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV) named ALTUS was used to collect cloud electrification data. Carrying field mills, optical sensors, electric field sensors and other instruments, ALTUS allowed scientists to collect cloudelectrification data for the first time from above the storm, from its birth through dissipation. This experiment allowed scientists to achieve the dual goals of gathering weather data safely and testing new aircraft technology. This dataset consists of data collected from seven instruments: the Slow/Fast antenna, Electric Field Mill, Dual Optical Pulse Sensor, Searchcoil Magnetometer, Accelerometers, Gerdien Conductivity Probe, and the Fluxgate Magnetometer. Data consists of sensor reads at 50HZ throughout the flight from all 64 channels.

ALTUS云电气化研究（ACES）以佛罗里达州基韦斯特海军航空站为基地。在2002年8月，ACES研究团队对佛罗里达州西南角的雷暴进行了空中考察。在NASA研究史上，首次使用名为ALTUS的无人空中飞行器（UAV）收集云电气化数据。ALTUS携带着场强计、光学传感器、电场传感器及其他仪器，使得科学家能够首次从风暴上方、从其生成至消散的全过程收集云电气化数据。此次实验不仅实现了安全收集气象数据的目标，还检验了新型飞机技术。该数据集包含了从七种仪器收集的数据：慢速/快速天线、电场计、双光脉冲传感器、搜索线圈磁力计、加速度计、格迪恩电导率探针以及霍尔效应磁力计。数据由飞行过程中所有64个通道的传感器在50Hz频率下的读数组成。
