Scientist Notes
The mission summaries are composed of sets of image frames covering the on-station time of the aircraft at 30 minute intervals. Each mission summary frame is constructed by superimposing data from the various aircraft and satellite platforms that was collected immediately prior to and including the UTC time shown in the upper-left corner of each image. Depending on data availability, some of the data in the frame (particularly satellite data) may be up to two hours old. For each platform, the collection time of the data used in the image is indicated in the box on the lower right of each image.
The following information is provided for each TOGA COARE aircraft mission:
