NAMMA CARBON MONOXIDE BY ATTENUATED LASER TRANSMISSION (COBALT) V1

The NAMMA Carbon mOnoxide By Attenuated Laser Transmission (COBALT) dataset includes measurements of the carbon monoxide mixing ratio and derived carbon monoxide mixing ratio profiles in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere using an in-situ laser absorption spectrometer. 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.

NAMMA 碳一氧化物通过衰减激光传输（COBALT）数据集包含使用原位激光吸收光谱仪在上层对流层/下层平流层中对一氧化碳混合比及其派生的一氧化碳混合比剖面的测量。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）战役期间生成的，该战役是由国家航空航天局（NASA）科学任务部资助的现场研究调查。此次任务以佛得角群岛为基地，位于西非塞内加尔海岸350英里之外。自2006年8月开始，NASA科学家利用地表观测网络和飞机来表征西非大陆西部非洲的非洲东风波（AEWs）和中尺度对流系统的演变与结构，以及它们对区域水资源和能量收支的影响。
