Global Forecast System (GFS) CPEX V1

Description

The Global Forecast System (GFS) CPEX dataset includes model data simulated by the Global Forecast System (GFS) model for the Convective Process Experiment (CPEX) field campaign. The NASA Convective Processes Experiment (CPEX) aircraft field campaign took place in the North Atlantic-Gulf of Mexico-Caribbean Sea region from 25 May-25 June 2017. CPEX conducted a total of sixteen DC-8 missions from 27 May-24 June. The CPEX campaign collected data to help explain convective storm initiation, organization, growth, and dissipation in the North Atlantic-Gulf of Mexico-Caribbean Oceanic region during the early summer of 2017. These data are available from May 24, 2017 through July 20, 2017 and are available in netCDF-3 format.
