NAMMA LANGLEY AEROSOL RESEARCH GROUP EXPERIMENT NAVIGATION DATA V1

The NAMMA Langley Aerosol Research Group Experiment Navigation Data is the DC-8 NAV data (ICATS) extracted into columns with time correction. These data files were generated during support of the NASA African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (NAMMA) campaign, a field research investigation sponsored by the Science Mission Directorate of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This mission was based in the Cape Verde Islands, 350 miles off the coast of Senegal in west Africa. Commencing in August 2006, NASA scientists employed surface observation networks and aircraft to characterize the evolution and structure of African Easterly Waves (AEWs) and Mesoscale Convective Systems over continental western Africa, and their associated impacts on regional water and energy budgets. This data was used with the LARGE dataset, but may also be used with other NAMMA datasets. It includes the wind speed and wind direction as well as pressure and air temperature information.

纳马尼亚莱利气溶胶研究小组实验导航数据，即 DC-8 导航数据（ICATS），经过时间校正后提取至各列。这些数据文件是在支持美国国家航空航天局（NASA）非洲季风多学科分析（NAMMA）任务期间生成的，该任务由国家航空航天局（NASA）科学任务局赞助的现场研究调查项目。该任务以佛得角群岛为基地，位于西非塞内加尔海岸线350英里之外。自2006年8月起，NASA科学家利用地面观测网络和飞机，对西非大陆上的非洲东风波（AEWs）和中尺度对流系统（MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS）的演化和结构进行表征，并研究其与区域水资源和能量预算相关的效应。这些数据与 LARGE 数据集一起使用，但也适用于其他 NAMMA 数据集。数据中包含了风速、风向、气压以及空气温度等信息。
