CAMEX-4 ER-2 HIGH ALTITUDE DROPSONDE V1

Description

The CAMEX-4 ER-2 High Altitude Dropsonde dataset was collected by the ER-2 High Altitude Dropsonde System (EHAD), which used dropwinsondes fitted with Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to measure the atmospheric state parameters (temp, humidity, windspeed/direction, pressure) and location in 3 dimensional space during the sonde's descent once each half second. Measurements was transmitted to the aircraft from the time of release until impact with the ocean's surface.
