For flight leg maps, flight tables, microphysics products, and radar products, click on the appropriate flight leg from the menu at left. LBA and TEFLUN B Legs can also be accessed by clicking the link at left. Detailed information about the DC8 CMPD format for the May 2000 workshop is available by clicking here: DC8 CMPD format document The selected priority legs are based on discussion on 11 Feb 2000 at TRMM Microphysics User meeting. These are the KWAJEX legs to be processed for the May 2000 TRMM Field Campaign meeting in Salt Lake City. After the formal User meeting, Chris Kummerow added a further criterion that overpasses of interest have to include some signal in the TMI data for the cell being sampled. This eliminated the overpass on 26 Aug 1999 as the cell sampled was too small to register on TMI. The three aircraft flight on 28 August sampled small cells near very edge of the 150 km S-band radar range so that case was also unsuitable.
