1. Data Set Description:

The DOE Gulfstream G-1 aircraft participated in the International Consortium for Atmospheric Research on Transport and Transformation (ICARTT), NorthEast Aerosol eXperiment (NEAX) in July and August, 2004.

Research Areas:

The G-1 operated within about 300 nautical miles from Latrobe, PA from about July 19th - August 15th, 2004. There were a total of 13 flights on twelve different days. Data are reported for both 1 second and averaged 10 second sampling intervals.

This research was performed under sponsorship of the U.S. DOE under contracts DE-AC02-98CH10886.

The general data set should be cited as follows:

2. Sample Data Record/Data Format:

Data files are in the NARSTO Data Exchange Standard (DES) format that is described in detail on the NARSTO Quality Systems Science Center (QSSC) web site [http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/programs/NARSTO/]. The files follow a tabular layout and are stored as ASCII comma-separated values files (.csv). The DES does not rely on row position to identify specific information, but uses a tag to describe the information contained in the row. The DES is a self-documenting format with three main sections: the header contains information about the contents of the file and the data originator; the middle section contains metadata tables that describe/define sites, flags, and other codified fields; and the final section is the main data table that contains key sampling and analysis information and the data values. Descriptions of the standardized metadata fields are also available on the QSSC web site.
