GRIP LIGHTNING INSTRUMENT PACKAGE (LIP) V1

The GRIP Lightning Instrument Package (LIP) dataset was collected by the Lightning Instrument Package (LIP), which consists of 6 rotating vane type electric field mill sensors along with a central computer to record and monitor the instruments. The field mills measure the components of the electric field over a wide dynamic range extending from fair weather electric fields, (i.e., a few to tens of V/m) to larger thunderstorm fields (i.e., tens of kV/m). During the GRIP campaign the LIP instrument package flew aboard the Global Hawk aircraft. The 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.

GRIP闪电仪器包（LIP）数据集由闪电仪器包（LIP）收集而成，该包包含6个旋转叶片式电场计传感器以及一台中央计算机，用于记录和监控仪器。电场计可在广阔的动态范围内测量电场分量，范围从晴朗天气的电场（即几到数十伏每米）扩展至较大的雷暴电场（即数十千伏每米）。在GRIP活动中，LIP仪器包搭载全球鹰飞机进行飞行。主要目标是为了更深入地理解热带风暴如何形成并发展成为主要飓风。NASA使用了DC-8飞机、WB-57飞机以及配备有套件式现场和遥感仪器的全球鹰无人机系统（UAS），这些仪器被用于观测和描述飓风的生命周期。
