  • Daily summary.

  • Flight track, and selected parameters, at 15 second intervals are available as ascii files for anonymous ftp access on screamer.uwyo.edu in the pub/cs99 directory. A readme file for each day lists the parameters included in the data file.

    Gridded data for selected parameters is given in the files listed below. These were produced by combining measurements around 0.1° latitude and longitude intervals and around altitudes used in the COAMPS model. Values are given only where a minimum of 1 km flight path was availabe in the corresponding space. A key provides some indication of variability. A fuller description of the procedures is given in a description file.
