GRIP DOPPLER AEROSOL WIND LIDAR (DAWN) V1

The GRIP Doppler Aerosol WiNd Lidar (DAWN) Dataset was collected by the Doppler Aerosol WiNd (DAWN), a pulsed lidar, which operated aboard a NASA DC-8 aircraft during the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) field campaign. he major goal was to better understand how tropical storms form and develop into major hurricanes. NASA used the DC-8 aircraft, the WB-57 aircraft and the Global Hawk Unmanned Airborne System (UAS), configured with a suite of in situ and remote sensing instruments that were used to observe and characterize the lifecycle of hurricanes. This campaign also capitalized on a number of ground networks and space-based assets, in addition to the instruments deployed on aircraft from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida ( DC-8), Houston, Texas (WB-57), and NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, California (Global Hawk). Data values include Line-of-Sight (LOS) Winds, calculated vertical profiles of horizontal wind velocity, frequency-domain signal energy and time versus latitude and longitude. Instrument details can be found in the dataset documentation. Data was gathered during August 24, 2010 thru September 22, 2010 over the Atlantic Ocean.

GRIP多普勒气溶胶风激光雷达（DAWN）数据集由多普勒气溶胶风激光雷达（DAWN）收集而成，该激光雷达为脉冲式激光雷达，在NASA DC-8飞机上于GRIP（生成与快速增强过程）野外考察期间运行。此次考察的主要目标是深入理解热带风暴如何形成并发展成为重大飓风。NASA利用DC-8飞机、WB-57飞机以及全球鹰无人空中系统（UAS），配备了包括原位和遥感仪器在内的一整套设备，用以观察和描述飓风的生命周期。此次考察还充分利用了多个地面网络和太空资产，以及部署在佛罗里达州劳德代尔堡（DC-8）、德克萨斯州休斯顿（WB-57）和加利福尼亚州NASA德干飞行研究中心（全球鹰）的仪器。数据值包括视线风速、计算出的水平风速的垂直剖面、频域信号能量以及时间与纬度和经度的关系。仪器详情可在数据集文档中找到。数据收集于2010年8月24日至9月22日，在北大西洋地区进行。
