Global Tropospheric Experiment Transport and Chemical Evolution over the Pacific (TRACE-P) Langley ASDC Data Set Document |
|
This document provides information on data products obtained during the GTE TRACE-P atmospheric science expedition conducted over the western Pacific during February, March and April, 2001. The objective of the mission was to determine the chemical composition of the Asian outflow and evolution over the western Pacific. Measurements were made primarily by investigators' instruments located on the NASA DFRC DC-8 and WFF P-3B airplanes. Also provided are a list of principal investigators and references for measurement techniques and publications.
This document provides information for the following data sets:

Aircraft data sets are available for each investigation for each flight. Ground-based data are usually available on a daily basis. Airborne measurements were typically obtained at constant altitude over the Pacific Ocean during the transit flights (i.e. "survey" flights), and over multi-altitudes closer to Asia during flight from the intensive sites. Flight missions were conducted during TRACE-P from February 24, through April 10, 2001. Flight dates, takeoff and landing times and sites, and flight tracks and profiles are shown in Jacob et al., [2003]. The duration, altitude range, ascent and descent rate, and flight path for each mission varied depending on mission objectives and environmental conditions. Ground-based measurements were made at sites also shown in Jacob et al., [2003]. The automated ground sites provided daily measurements during the time frame when airborne measurements were being made and weekly averaged samples before and after. Further information about the measurement region and time frame may be found in the Journal of Geophysical Research, Vol. 108, No. 20, October 27, 2003.
This data collection contains 12 separate data sets. These include the atmospheric chemistry, meteorological and navigational data recorded aboard the NASA DFRC DC-8 and WFF P-3B airborne laboratories and data obtained from surface level sites.

Potential usage and applications of the described data sets can be seen in the articles that comprise the Journal of Geophysical Research TRACE-P Special Section (Vol.108, No. 20 and 21, October 27 and November 16, 2003) and the Fall 2002 AGU TRACE-P Special Session(s).
For convenience of the users, the calculated variables below are provided.
Mach Number, M: |

M = Mach Number Ps = Static Pressure Qc = Differential Pressure |
Static Air Temperature, Ts: | |
 |
TS = Static Air Temperature (°K) TT = Total Air Temperature (°K) γ = 1.4, ratio of specific heat of air at constant pressure and volume |
True Air Speed, TAS: | |
 |
TAS = True Air Speed (knots) TS = Static Air Temperature (°K) M = Mach Number a = Speed of Sound |
Potential Temperature, θ: | |

θ = Potential Temperature (°K) TS = Static Air Temperature (°K) Ps = Static Pressure (mb) |
Vapor Pressure, e :
ewater (mb) = [1.0007 + (3.46 * 10-6 * PS)] * 6.1121* EXP[17.502 * T/(240.97 + T)]
eice (mb) = [1.0003 + (4.18 * 10-6 * PS)] * 6.1115* EXP[22.452 * T/(272.55 + T)]
e = Partial Pressure of Water Vapor (mb)
PS = Static Pressure (mb)
T = Static Air Temperature (°C) for Saturation Vapor Pressure
or
T = Dew/Frost Point (°C) for Partial Pressure of Water Vapor
ProjDP of zero or greater should be used to derive the partial pressure of water vapor w.r.t water (ewater ) and the ProjDP less than zero should be used to derive the partial pressure of water vapor w.r.t ice (eice).
StatTempDegC and ProjDP parameters recorded in the P-3B data set are substituted to calculate saturation vapor pressure and partial pressure of water vapor, respectively.
TSDEGC and ProjDP parameters recorded in the DC-8 data set are substituted to calculate saturation vapor pressure and partial pressure of water vapor, respectively. Also notice in the DC-8 data set there is a redundant static air temperature measurement, TSCALC, which is calculated by DADS. Although TSDEGC and TSCALC track closely they can diverge by ≈ 1° at the low and high ends of the measurement range.

A general description of data granularity as it applies to the IMS appears in the EOSDIS Glossary. Aircraft data sets are available for each individual investigation for each flight through the GTE home page (htt;//www-gte.larc.nasa.gov) and for each flight (all investigation) from the Atmospheric Science Data Center. Surface level data are available on a daily basis from both sites.
All data for the TRACE-P mission is contained in the archive. The only additional data products anticipated relevant to TRACE-P are 210Pb from Robert Talbot (University of New Hampshire) and will be added to the archive when received by the GTE project office.
This data is available online or ona CDROM(s) via the LaRC ASDC at http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov. Users may also order data by letter, telephone, and electronic mail from the ASDC.

Airborne measurements were made predominately over the western Pacific Ocean. A more detailed description of the surface level environmental characteristics for the experiment region is provided in the individual papers for each investigation included in the Journal of Geophysical Research, Vol. 108, No. 20 and 21, October 27 and November 16, 2003. Additional information may be found in other publications authored by the principal investigators or on the GTE home page.
TRACE-P geographic coverage for the intensive flights out of Hong Kong and Yokota Air Force, Japan was approximately 110E-160E and 10N to 50N. Additional information can be found in the TRACE-P mission overview paper, Jacob et al., [2003].
Flight missions were conducted during February, March and April 2001. Also shown are the takeoff and landing sites. The duration, altitude ranges, ascent and descent rate and flight path of each mission varied depending on the mission objectives and environmental (weather) conditions. The nominal airspeed ranged from greater than 480 knots (approximately 552 mph) at 13 km altitude for the DC-8 to greater than 130 knots (approximately 152 mph) at 7.7 km altitude.

See the next section Grid Description for information about the meteorological trajectories. Ozonesondes were launched from nine ground stations.
Ozone data are found at: Satellite images are found at:The meteorological trajectories utilized global gridded meteorological analyses prepared by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) [Bengtsson, 1985; Hollingsworth et al., 1986, ECMWF, 1995]. The data were available four times daily (0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800 UTC) at 60 vertical levels with a T319 spherical harmonic triangular truncation, interpolated to a 1° x 1° latitude-longitude horizontal grid. The five-day backward trajectories were calculated using a kinematic model, i.e., employing u, v, and w wind components from the ECMWF analyses. Additional details about the trajectory model are given in Fuelberg et al. [1996, 1999, 2000]. Limitations of trajectories are described by Fuelberg et al. [2000], Maloney et al. [2001], Stohl [1995], and Stohl et al. [1998].
TRACE-P aircraft missions were conducted from February 24 through April 10, 2001. Temporal coverage for the DC-8 and P-3B data, meteorological trajectories, and the merged data is from February 24 through April 10, 2001. Ground site measurements and satellite image start dates and end dates are listed below. Ozonesondes were launched from nine ground stations and ozonesonde data are found at ftp://ftp-gte.larc.nasa.gov/pub/TRACEP/OZONESONDES/ or http://www-gte.larc.nasa.gov/trace/TP_Ozonesondes.htm. Visible, infrared, and water-vapor satellite images from GMS-5, GOES-8 and GOES-10 satellites at 4-km resolution were created using McIDAS software for the 2001 TRACE-P field mission. The images can be found at ftp://ftp-gte.larc.nasa.gov/pub/TRACEP/DC8-AIRCRAFT/FLIGHT_TRACKS/.
