HALO Microwave Package measurements during Next-generation Remote sensing for VALidation Studies - South (NARVAL-South)
NARVAL-South:
Measurements of microwave radiometer brightness temperatures, radar reflectivity and linear depolarisation ratio, and dropsonde atmospheric profiles from aircraft campaign over tropical Atlantic out of Barbados.
Aim of the campaign was the observation of shallow convection in the trade wind region east of Barbados.

Coverage Description
- Attribute description
- wind_speed
- Descriptor
-
Speed is the magnitude of velocity. Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name upward_air_velocity.) The wind speed is the magnitude of the wind velocity.[CF-Standard Name]; unit: not filled
Coverage Description
- Attribute description
- brightness_temperature
- Descriptor
-
The brightness temperature of a body is the temperature of a black body which radiates the same power per unit solid angle per unit area. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: not filled
Coverage Description
- Attribute description
- air_temperature
- Descriptor
-
Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: not filled

- wind_from_direction
- Descriptor
-
Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name upward_air_velocity.) In meteorological reports, the direction of the wind vector is usually (but not always) given as the direction from which it is blowing (wind_from_direction) (westerly, northerly, etc.). In other contexts, such as atmospheric modelling, it is often natural to give the direction in the usual manner of vectors as the heading or the direction to which it is blowing (wind_to_direction) (eastward, southward, etc.) "from_direction" is used in the construction X_from_direction and indicates the direction from which the velocity vector of X is coming.
