  • In-situ Meteorological Measurements

    Quality Control:

  • see the quality control processing section for aircraft in-situ meteorological data

    • For each flight of the UK-C130, the UK-C130_IOPnn.tar file is a tar file containing:

  • 60s flight level data (files named FTXnnC13.60S) as obtained in real-time on the UK C-130 aircraft
  • 1s flight level processed data (files named AIR_IOPnn.DAT)
    • where nn is the IOP number.

    e.g. the file UK-C130_IOP11.tar contains 2 files, FTX11C13.60S (60s flight level data for IOP 11) and AIR_IOP11.DAT (1s flight level processed data for IOP 11).
