Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) CPEX

The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) CPEX dataset contains products obtained from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) onboard the NASA Aqua satellite. These data were collected in support of the NASA Convective Processes Experiment (CPEX) field campaign. The CPEX field campaign took place in the North Atlantic-Gulf of America-Caribbean Sea region and conducted a total of sixteen DC-8 missions from May through June 2017. The CPEX campaign collected data to help explain convective storm initiation, organization, growth, and dissipation in the North Atlantic-Gulf of America-Caribbean Oceanic region during the early summer of 2017. These data are available from May 11, 2017 through July 16, 2017 and are available in HDF-4 format.
