CAMP2Ex Learjet Aircraft Meteorological and Navigational Data

In-situ meteorological and navigational measurements were collected onboard the SPEC Learjet 35A aircraft during NASA's 2019 CAMP2Ex field study. The dataset captures detailed atmospheric state variables from 11 coordinated science flights conducted around the Philippines between August 20 and October 10, 2019. This data supports research into aerosol-cloud interactions and monsoon processes.

Use Cases

• Analyzing vertical profiles of atmospheric state variables like air temperature and dew point.
• Studying in-situ meteorological conditions during coordinated aircraft sampling of cloud properties.
• Investigating the relationship between navigational flight data and measured cloud microphysical parameters.
• Characterizing airmass types and their influence on aerosol distribution during the monsoon season.

Strengths

• Data originates from a coordinated NASA field campaign (CAMP2Ex) with defined science objectives.
• Measurements were taken during 11 dedicated Learjet flights in a focused 2019 deployment.
• Platforms indicate cross-platform presence (NASA Earthdata and Data.gov), suggesting curated importance.

Limitations

• Specific column names, row counts, and file sizes are not provided by any source.
• One source lists the last update as 2026-03 13, which is a future date and conflicts with the 2019 collection completion.
