Introduction

This common microphysics data set was collected by the University of Washington Convair during the KWAJEX campaign. Sponsor The distribution of these data sets is funded by NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. The data are not copyrighted; however, we request that when you publish data or results using these data, please acknowledge as follows:

The authors wish to thank Prof. Peter V. Hobbs, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Washington for the production of these data and the Distributed Active Archive Center(Code 610.2) at the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, 20771, which archives and distributes them under sponsorship of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise.

Professor Peter V. Hobbs died in July 2005. Please direct questions about this data set to The University of Washington Cloud & Aerosol Research Group

The Data

Characteristics

This data set consists of common microphysics data collected on flights from July 28, 1999 through August 30, 1999.

The Files

Each data file contains one flight of data, taken at approximately 1Hz intervals. The data consists of navigation, meteorology, and cloud physics.

Naming Conventions

The naming convention for the cmp files is
cmp_vers#_yyyymmddhhmm_expname_acname_totseg#
cmp_vers3_19990803044652_kwajex_convair_66.txt
where: cmp = common microphysical data file;
# = version number;
yyyymmddhhmm = year, month, day, hour & minute of the start of the leg;
expname = experiment name;
acname = aircraft name;
total # of 1-km segments to the flight

File Formats.

These are Common Microphysics Product files containing the information and formatted according to the CMP Document:
