Abstract:
The Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) is a series of field
research investigations sponsored by the Earth Science Enterprise of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The fourth
field campaign in the CAMEX series (CAMEX-4) ran from 16 August to 25
September, 2001 and was based out of Jacksonville Naval Air Station,
... Florida. CAMEX-4 focused on the study of tropical cyclone (hurricane)
development, tracking, intensification, and landfalling impacts using
NASA-funded aircraft and surface remote sensing instrumentation.
This dataset consists of VHS tapes which record the forward and nadir
views from the NASA DC-8 aircraft on flights during CAMEX-4. The tapes
have timestamps, and record the voice channels of the scientists and
mission managers in the aircraft. Occasionally pilot and radio calls
are heard.
