Description
Summary:The following note was prepared by the U.S. JGOFS Data Management Office (DMO) and applies to all of the NASA P3 AXBT sections released by Dr. Frank Hoge, NASA. These data have undergone a rigorous reprocessing and quality control review and the resulting data set, in the opinion of the DMO, is of poor quality. The AXBT data were collected using two different recording rates (high and low resolution). The high resolution observations, (flights 10, 13, 18 and 21 May) have been reprocessed and averaged at one meter binned intervals. The low resolution data were recorded at approximately 1.4 meter intervals and reported as recorded. Spiking was a problem in both data sets.
