The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: |
ATOMIC ship W-band radar: Vertical Profiles of cloud, vertical velocity, and precipitation parameters estimated from a motion-stabilized vertically-pointing W-band (94 GHz) Doppler radar aboard NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in the North Atlantic Ocean, near Barbados: Atlantic Tradewind Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign 2020-01-29 to 2020-02-13, (NCEI Accession 0225423) |
| Abstract: |
The Atlantic Tradewind OceanAtmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign (ATOMIC) was a field campaign held January-February 2020 in the tropical North Atlantic east of Barbados. The campaign, the U.S. complement to the European field campaign called EUREC4A, was aimed at better understanding cloud and air-sea interaction processes. ATOMIC included measurements from a NOAA WP-3D Orion "Hurricane Hunter" aircraft, the research ship Ronald H. Brown, and unpiloted vehicles launched from Barbados and from the Ronald H. Brown. This dataset contains W-band radar data in netcdf files. |
