Description

The CAMEX-3 ER-2 NPOESS Aircraft Sounder Testbed - Microwave Temperature Sounder (NAST-MTS) dataset contains navigation records and microwave spectral radiance measurements taken of tropical cyclones and hurricanes during the third Convection and Moisture Experiment (CAMEX-3). The NAST-MTS contains two microwave radiometer systems covering the spectral ranges of 50 to 56 GHz and provides atmospheric temperature profiles from the flight altitude to the surface.
