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: |
Vertical Profiles of cloud, vertical velocity, and precipitation parameters estimated from a motion-stabilized vertically-pointing W-band (94 GHz) Doppler radar aboard the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown in the North Atlantic Ocean by University of Miami and NOAA Physical Sciences Lab during the Atlantic Tradewind Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Interaction Campaign (ATOMIC), near Barbados, 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. |
