Abstract
The Meteorological Research Flight (MRF) was a Met Office facility, which flew a well-instrumented C-130 Hercules aircraft for atmospheric research purposes.
This dataset contains airborne atmospheric and chemistry measurements taken on board the Met Office C-130 Hercules aircraft flight A661 for the Clouds, Water Vapour and Climate (CWVC AIRES) project. The location of the flight was over SW England and southern North Sea.
