caribic atmospheric database

Datasets and context information:

Metadata:

Experiment (=flight) descriptions for all CARIBIC flights from 1997 through 2002.

Datasets:

Aerosol (CN)

CO

Ozone (continuos)

GC Whole Air Sampler analyses of
CO, CH₄, CO₂, N₂O, SF₆, O₃, Isotopes

non-methane hydrocarbons

Position & Meteorology and

Cloudcover.

Each flight is a complete experiment. The datarecords provided with a set of self-explanatory header lines are stored into the database. Dataset-name and -accronym contain a string _Vxx which stands for the version of revision - see above. Version V02 has more convenient header layout and a few obvious mistakes corrected in the data. Thus the highest version is recommended for download, lower versions serve as collateral.

Shortcuts:

A table showing all datasets ready for download on demand (ask for permission),

a typical example of the CARIBIC header adopted to each of them

a typical example of the NASA-Ames format file header as adopted to the Aerosol data¹

¹ We are considering to provide all datasets with NASA-Ames format file header in the next version of the database (V03).
