Description

The CAMEX-3 LiDAR Atmospheric Sensing Experiment (LASE) Imagery dataset is a browse-only dataset that consists of plotted reflectivity data collected by the LiDAR Atmospheric Sensing Experiment (LASE) during the third field campaign in the Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) series, CAMEX-3. This field campaign took place from August to September 1998 based out of Patrick Air Force Base in Florida, with the purpose of studying the various aspects of tropical cyclones in the region. The LiDAR was mounted onboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft, and the daily browse files are available from August 21 through September 5, 1998 in GIF format.
