newvap_adim: contains data from Dimona Aircraft related to the NEWVAP project during COPS Campaign

Experiment
airborneobservational data
Summary
The aircraft measurements were performed on 26.07.07, 31.07.07 and
01.08.08 to investigate the potential of a passive microwave profiler
for the detection of the spatial variability of water vapor in the troposphere.
For that purpose the Metair-Dimona mapped the water vapor (and
a lot of additional meteorological and chemical variables)
within the Murg Valley. The flight pattern was star like with 6
vertical planes spaced by 30 deg in azimuth angle. In each azimuth
plane the aircraft was descending (or ascending) from around
1500 m to 50 m above ground. At the same time HATPRO (at supersite M)
performed synchronous elevation scans in the azimuth planes and in
between some azimuth scans (at fixed 30 degree elevation) to observe
both the temporal and spatial variability.
These DIMONA flights for the NEWVAP project were sponsored by EUFAR.
