EMeRGe project data from a 1.6-hour formation flight by research aircraft HALO and FAAM on 17 July 2017 in Southern Germany. The dataset includes 28 measurement pairs suitable for direct comparison and 17 additional pairs from single aircraft, alongside observations from the DWD Hohenpeissenberg station and results from 6 models. It was authored by U. Schumann and provided by the Czech Academy of Sciences, Institute of Atmospheric Physics.
Use Cases
- Validate atmospheric pollution transport models based on the included results from 6 models.
- Compare instrumentation performance between research aircraft based on the 28 paired measurement samples.
- Analyze pollutant concentration differences between clean and polluted boundary layers based on the flight path description.
- Assess measurement error margins based on the reported 30% of pairs falling within combined error estimates.
Strengths
- Includes 28 directly comparable measurement pairs from two aircraft.
- Integrates ground station observations from DWD Hohenpeissenberg.
- Provides comparison data against results from 6 different models.
Limitations
- Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
- The dataset appears to be a single, focused case study from one day.
