Description

The GOES-R PLT ER-2 Flight Navigation Data dataset consists of multiple altitude, pressure, temperature parameters, airspeed, and ground speed measurements collected by the NASA ER-2 high-altitude aircraft for flights that occurred during the GOES-R Post Launch Test (PLT) field campaign. The GOES-R PLT airborne science field campaign took place between March 21 and May 17, 2017 in support of the post-launch product validation of the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM). ER-2 navigation data files in ASCII-IWG1 format are available for March 21, 2017 through May 17, 2017.
