The CAMEX-4 NOAA WP-3D Flight Level Data dataset used the NOAA WP-3D Orion aircraft, which collects numerous in-situ meteorological measurements along with navigation and aircraft state parameters during each flight. CAMEX-4 focused on the study of tropical cyclone (hurricane) development, tracking, intensification, and landfalling impacts using NASA-funded aircraft and surface remote sensing instrumentation. The WP-3D data are encoded on 8mm tapes in what is called the 'AOC Standard Tape Format'. Examples of meteorological data include total temperature, dew point, liquid water content and dynamic pressure (from several sensors). Aircraft parameters include angle of attack, airspeed, and slip angle. For further information and to obtain this data, please contact GHRC at support-ghrc@earthdata.nasa.gov

The CAMEX-4 NOAA WP-3D Cloud Physics dataset used the NOAA WP-3D Orion aircraft, which has multiple meteorological and microphysical sensors. These include, for example, cloud particle imagers and temperature and dewpoint probes. CAMEX-4 focused on the study of tropical cyclone (hurricane) development, tracking, intensification, and landfalling impacts using NASA-funded aircraft and surface remote sensing instrumentation. This dataset includes navigation data as well as the meteorological and microphysical data. For further information and to obtain this data, please contact GHRC at support-ghrc@earthdata.nasa.gov

The CAMEX-4 NPAA WP-3D Radar dataset used the NOAA WP-3D Orion aircraft, which has two separate research radars to collect meteorological data. One is mounted on the lower fuselage (C-band), and the other is located in the tail (X-band). CAMEX-4 focused on the study of tropical cyclone (hurricane) development, tracking, intensification, and landfalling impacts using NASA-funded aircraft and surface remote sensing instrumentation. Data from these radars consist of reflectivity in range and azimuth coordinates collected either in the horizontal (lower fuselage) or vertical (tail radar) planes. Doppler radial velocity is also collected by the tail radar. For further information and to obtain this data, please contact GHRC at support-ghrc@earthdata.nasa.gov

The Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX)-4 Mission Reports were filed every day that an aircraft flew in support of the experiment. The reports include a short description of the day's mission, its objective, and notes.

The CAMEX-3 DC-8 Navigation Data Acquisition and Distribution System (DADS) data files contain information recorded by navigation and data collection systems onboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft. These data files contain typical navigation data (e.g. date, time, lat/lon, altitude), and meteorological parameters (e.g. wind speed and direction, temperature, saturation vapor pressure) collected in support of the third field campaign in the Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) series, CAMEX-3. This field campaign took place from August to September 1998 based out of Patrick Air Force Base in Florida, with the purpose of studying various aspects of tropical cyclones in the region. These data are available in ASCII file format with browse imagery available in GIF file format. Each file contains data recorded at one second intervals for each flight.

The CAMEX-4 Aerosonde dataset contains temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure measurements collected to study the boundary layer below levels where traditional hurricane reconnasissance aircaft fly. The Aerosonde is an unmanned aerial vehicle with a wingspan of 2.9 meters (~9 feet) weighing approximately 14 kg (~31 lbs). Carrying a payload of air pressure, temperature and humidity probes, the aircraft can fly at altitudes from near the surface to 21,000 feet at speeds of 50-95 mph for periods of up to 30 hours. Controlled by dual computers and navigated by GPS, the Aerosonde is designed to economically collect meteorological data over a wide area.
