Aircraft Instrumentation and Data Collection for Atmospheric Research

This workshop by CalWater2, NOAA P-3 and G-IV aircraft operations center provides a plain talk about aircraft instrumentation used for atmospheric research, including GPS, radar, dropsonde, and cloud probes. Learn about flight level data collection and its importance in studying cloud microphysics, winds, aerosols, and chemistry. Discover the tools and techniques used to measure ocean surface wind speed, ozone, and CO levels. Join us to gain insights into the world of atmospheric research through aircraft data collection.

  3. AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENTATION WP-3D Flight Level Data (T, P, RH, WD, WS, etc. Radar – LF, TDR GPS Dropsonde Cloud Microphysics Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer - SFMR (Ocean Surface Wind Speed) IWRAP – Ocean Vector Surf. Winds W-band Radar Aerosols/Chemistry Flight Level Data (T, P, RH, WD, WS, etc. GPS Dropsonde TDR SFMR – Surface Wind Speed Ozone CO G-IV

  4. WP-3D CLOUD PROBES Cloud Combination Probes (CCP). There are two instruments in a CCP: A Cloud Imaging Probe (CIP) and a Cloud Droplet Probe (CDP). Note that one of the CIPs has been modified with Anti-Shatter Tips (Korolev Tips). Precipitation Imaging Probes (PIP). Cloud Aerosol Spectrometers (CAS) with Particle by Particle Update (PbP).
