Dataset
ARA Beech B200T Super King Air Aircraft measurements for the CWVC EMERALD-2 Campaign 2002.
Abstract
In-situ and remote measurements made on the Airborne Research Australia (ARA) Beech B200T Super King Air Aircraft for the CWVC EMERALD-2 Campaign based in Darwin, Australia, during November and December 2002.
The dataset contains static air temperature, static air pressure, relative humidity, water vapour mixing ratio, and ozone mixing ratio plus LiDAR measurements of the cirrus cloud made by the Aberystwyth vertical pointing depolarisation lidar system.
The EMERALD projects were airborne measurement campaigns designed to study dynamical, microphysical and infra-red radiative properties of cirrus clouds, using both in-situ and remote measurement techniques. The ARA King Air aircraft flew below cirrus clouds looking up in conjunction with the ARA Grob Egrett T520 aircraft which flew above looking down.
These data are part of the NERC Clouds, Water Vapour and Climate (CWVC) programme.
