PEM-West A&B Data Archive CD-ROM Two Volume Set (August 2000)

This two volume CD set contains the data archive from the NASA Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE) Pacific Exploratory Mission in the northwestern Pacific region, phases A & B (PEM-West A & B) and the East Asia/North Pacific Regional Study (APARE). While each CD contains descriptive, and in some cases duplicate information on each field mission, Volume I is focused on the data archive for PEM-West A and the concurrent APARE mission, and Volume II is focused on the data archive for PEM-West B and the concurrent APARE mission.

The data on these CD-ROMs consist of in situ and remotely sensed measurements collected onboard the DC-8 aircraft; in situ measurements collected aboard the NIES aircraft; radiosonde and ozonesonde balloon soundings; satellite images with the DC-8 flight tracks; calculations of air parcel back trajectories and meteorological parameters along the DC-8 flight paths; data files of DC-8 in situ measurements merged to several common time bases; and ground based in situ measurements from the PEM-West, PEACAMPOT and CATS programs as well as ground based measurements from stations sponsored by the Peoples Republic of China. Modeling products were also submitted to the PEM-West/APARE Archive but have not been included on these CD-ROMs. The modeling products associated with PEM-West A can be obtained through the GTE Archive site at:

and for PEM-West B at:

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