CAMEX-4 NOAA WP-3D Flight Level Data

The NOAA WP-3D Orion aircraft collects numerous in-situ meteorological measurements along with navigation and aircraft state parameters during each flight (these data are similar to that collected with the NASA DC-8 ICATS system). The WP-3D data are encoded on 8mm tape 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, slip angle, etc.
