RMS performance given below is based 14 RAOB intercomparisons from the 2 cross-country SONEX flights. No timing corrections are needed (per Eiler's e-mail of 12/19/97). All altitudes are pressure altitudes. PALT = A/C 's pressure altitude. Here's a brief free-form tutorial on how to decipher the MTP data: Data groups consist of the following group of lines per 16-second observing cycle. First line is: UTSEC, # alt's in following table, Pressure Altitude, Pitch, Roll, Outside air temp (K), tropopause altitude #1 (km), tropopause altitude #2 (km) [if present], potential temperatures of tropopause #1 and #2 (4-cycle average), latitude, longitude, & lapse rate near flight level. The 1-liners (for each cycle) can be stripped & imported into a spreadsheet for convenient plotting of trop altitude, lapse rate, etc. The tropopause altitudes are calculated by cubic spline interpolation of the retrieved altitudes using the WMO definition (that is, trop #1 is lowest altitude where average lapse rate > -2 K/km from initial -2 K/km point to any point within 2 km; trop #2 occurs above first trop after lapse rate is < -3K/km for >1 km, and then first trop definition applies, possibly from within the 1 km region.) NB. Times are corrected per Timing Memo of 981219. Remaining set of lines for each cycle consist of 5 columns: col#1 is pressure altitude (units of 10 m), & col#2 is temperature from MTP (units of 0.1 K), col#3 is geometric altitude (units of 10 meters), based on DADS GPS (units of 10 m), col#5 is molecular air density [1E+21/m3]. ============================================================================== comments from file nu971020.da1 ============================================================================== Flight # 6 *Time correction (flights 4-8): UT times have been corrected per SONEX Timing Memo of 12/19/97. *General comments: Although the 1 Hz data for NO and NOy are reported here, variations within short time periods are mostly due to fluctuations in the measurements. The 1 Hz data should be useful for investigating the rapid changes of NO and NOy, such as spikes due to aircraft emissions. However, averaging for a time period of more than 10 seconds for other analyses is generally recommended. *Address: Yutaka Kondo Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory, Nagoya University 3-13, Honohara, Toyokawa, Aichi, 442-8507, Japan phone:+81-533-89-5156, fax:+81-533-89-5161 e-mail:kondo@stelab.nagoya-u.ac.jp UT_Sec NO NOy ============================================================================== comments from file o3971020.da1 ============================================================================== UT_Time is corrected per timing memo of 12/17/97 from Project. The 1-Hz ozone data has not been corrected for water vapor quenching. For the SONEX mission, locations, and time of year -- the quenching correction is negligible at altitudes greater than 6000 feet. Below 6000 feet the correction factor, a function of dew point temperature and atmospheric pressure, ranges from approximately 1.015 to 1.065. An average quenching factor of 1.04 may be applied to the lower altitude data using the equation: TRUE Ozone (ppbv) = FILE Ozone * 1.04. Thus, 25 ppbv ozone becomes 26 ppbv.

At the current data revision, vertical wind (W) precision is within specification; however the absolute value is showing an erronous correlation with TAS and altitude. Log10 turbulence values (normally < 0) are sign-reversed when the turbulent sampling wavenumber is less than the buoyancy wavenumber. Under such conditions, computed dissipation rates may not be quantitative. For explanation, see Chan et al., "Turbulence Measurements by the DC-8 Meteorological Measurement System", Goephys. Res.
