• Flight Summary Information Matrix - still to come


• Data Download
  • Flight-Level Low-Rate Data (inc. CN, CVI, and SID2H data; correct FSSP) (CVI README) - Updated 10/03/2012
  • Flight-Level High-Rate Data(corrected FSSP)- Updated 10/30/2012
  • Flight-Level raw PMS-2D
  • Flight-Level Digital Camera mpeg4 Movie File Catalog
  • Flight-Level Forward-looking Digital Camera jpg Imagery
    • The forward-looking camera on the C-130 was out of service on RF-10, July 24. Nevertheless, we have some good quality images taken by the co-pilot during the cloud study portion of the flight. They will be very useful for helping to describe the clouds and meteorology. The image name gives the date and time; camera clock was synchronized within 3 sec of data system clock.
