BOREAS Level-0 ER-2 Navigation Data

Summary:

The BOREAS Staff Science effort covered those activities that were BOREAS community-level activities or required uniform data collection procedures across sites and time. These activities included the acquisition, processing, and archiving of aircraft navigation/attitude data to complement the digital image data. The level-0 ER-2 navigation data files contain aircraft attitude and position information acquired during the digital image and photographic data collection missions. Temporally, the data were acquired from April to September 1994. Data were recorded at intervals of 5 seconds. The data are stored in tabular ASCII files.

A guide document which includes more information about this data set can be found at http://daac.ornl.gov/boreas/STAFF/er2nav0/comp/ER2_Nav_L0.txt.

ORNL DAAC maintains information on the entire BOREAS Project.
