PEM-Tropics A Data Archive CD-ROM (February 23, 2000)

This CD-ROM contains data from the Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE) Pacific Exploratory Mission in the Tropics (PEM-Tropics A) conducted in August-September 1996. The mission involved the NASA DC-8, with flights originating from Papeete, Tahiti, Easter Island, Christchurch, New Zealand, and Nadi, Fiji, and the P-3B aircraft, with flights originating from Christmas Island, Papeete, Tahiti, Easter Island, and Guayaquil, Ecuador. The data on this CD-ROM consist of in situ and remotely sensed measurements collected onboard the DC-8 aircraft; in situ measurements collected aboard the P-3B aircraft; radiosonde and ozonesonde balloon soundings; satellite images with the DC-8 or P-3B flight track; fire count data for Africa and Australia; calculations of air parcel back trajectories and meteorological parameters along the DC-8 and P-3B flight paths; and data files of DC-8 and P-3B in situ measurements merged to several common time bases. Modeling products were also submitted to the GTE Archive but have not been included on this CD-ROM. The modeling products can be obtained through the GTE Archive site at: https://www-air.larc.nasa.gov/pub/PEMTROPICSA/DC8-AIRCRAFT/MODELING/

This CD-ROM is organized using HTML and can be navigated using a standard browser, such as Explorer or Netscape. Note that while all GTE PEM-Tropics A data (with the exception of the model results) are contained on this CD-ROM, there are some active links within some of the HTML documentation contained on the CD-ROM that will link to the GTE Home Page.
