The GRIP Global Hawk Navigation and Housekeeping data was collected from August 15, 2010 to September 24, 2010 during the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) field campaign. The major goal was to better understand how tropical storms form and develop into major hurricanes. The Global Hawk is an unmanned Airborne System configured with in situ and remote sensing instruments, including the Lightning Imaging Package (LIP), High Altitude Wind and Rain Profiler (HIWRAP), and High Altitude MMIC Sounding Radiometer (HAMSR). Data was collected for 7 dates and is in the IWGADTS IWG1 format. The dataset also includes XML files containing metadata documenting the parameters and their format collected during each day's flight.

The Global Hawk Navigation EPOCH dataset consists of the real-time navigation and housekeeping data that was acquired by various instruments aboard the Global Hawk during the East Pacific Origins and Characteristics of Hurricanes (EPOCH) project. EPOCH was a NASA program manager training opportunity directed at training NASA young scientists in conceiving, planning, and executing a major airborne science field program. The goals of the EPOCH project were to sample tropical cyclogenesis or intensification of an Eastern Pacific hurricane and to train the next generation of NASA Airborne Science Program leadership. The data files are available from July 27, 2017 through August 31, 2017 in CSV format with associated KML browse files.

The GRIP DC-8 Navigation and Housekeeping Data contains aircraft navigational data obtained during the GRIP campaign (15 Aug 2010 - 30 Sep 2010). The major goal was to better understand how tropical storms form and develop into major hurricanes. The NASA DC-8 is outfitted with a navigational recording system which in combination with the Research Environment for Vehicle-Embedded Analysis on Linux (REVEAL) provides detailed flight parameters such as airspeed, altitude, roll/pitch/yaw angles, ground speed, flight level wind speed, temperature and many others. The REVEAL system is a configurable embedded system for facilitating integration of instrument payloads with vehicle systems and communication links. REVEAL systems currently serve as onboard data acquisition, processing, and recording systems.

The GRIP NOAA Global Hawk In-Flight Turbulence Sensor (GHIS) dataset was collected by the NOAA Global Hawk In-flight Turbulence Sensor (GHIS) instrument, which measures acceleration at the location of the instrument. Two accelerometers (2g and 5g full scale) are used on each of two measurement axes. The GHIS accelerometers are from the Model 1221 family manufactured by Silicon Designs, Inc. with a frequency response of 400-600Hz. The data system samples each sensor output at 1000 Hz and processes these data to produce mean, maximum, and root-mean square (RMS) values at 10 Hz. The processed data are then broadcast on the Global Hawk internet and brought to the ground via Status and User User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets. GHIS operated on the Global Hawk for the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) experiment and collected data between Aug 15, 2010 - Sep 23, 2010. The major goal was to better understand how tropical storms form and develop into major hurricanes. NASA used the DC-8 aircraft, the WB-57 aircraft and the Global Hawk Unmanned Airborne System (UAS), configured with a suite of in situ and remote sensing instruments that were used to observe and characterize the lifecycle of hurricanes. This campaign also capitalized on a number of ground networks and space-based assets, in addition to the instruments deployed on aircraft from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida ( DC-8), Houston, Texas (WB-57), and NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, California (Global Hawk).

The GRIP Campaign Reports dataset consists of various reports filed by scientists during the GRIP campaign which took place 8/15/2010 - 9/30/2010; however, several of the reports are from the planning and test flights. Reports included in this dataset contain information for the Tri Agency Mission Scientists; DC-8, Global Hawk, and WB-57 Platform Scientists; DC-8, Global Hawk, and WB-57 Flight Reports and WB-57 Flight Summary; GRIP Telecons; and TropicalGRIP Forecasts. The Tri Agency Mission Scientists reports, GRIP telecons and Forecast reports were primarily filed daily, while the Platform and Flight reports exist primarily for flight days.
