PI(s): Bane

Data Description and Status:

• Atmospheric data collected from aircraft on 27 flights from May 16
  to Aug 31 2001. Data are completely processed. Vertical profiles,
  vertical sections, and horizontal maps of wind, air temperature,
  and moisture are available on our web site along with the details
  of location and flight dates and times.
  


• SST and AXBT (Upper ocean temperature to 500m) data collected from
  aircraft on 27 flights (SST) and 20 flights (AXBT) from May 16 to

  an empirical calibration of Chlorophyll concentration still needs to be made
  from ship data
