GPM GROUND VALIDATION NASA ER-2 NAVIGATION DATA MC3E V1

Description

The GPM Ground Validation NASA ER-2 Navigation Data MC3E dataset contains information recorded by an on board navigation recorder (NavRec). In addition to typical navigation data (e.g. date, time, lat/lon and altitude) it contains outside meteorological parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, and temperature. These ASCII text files were recorded every second for the length of the flight. The Flight Summaries and Flight Track Imagery dataset which includes sonde maps, radar animation, and 5-minute KICT track snapshots is distributed with this dataset.
