Description

Data and scripts used to produce the figures in "Balloon-borne Electric Field Meters: Deployment, Demodulation, Tilt, and Charge Retrieval". 

TELEX_raw.zip includes the raw data from a single sounding as part of the TELEX field campaign

LEE_raw.zip includes the raw data from a single sounding as part of the LEE field campaign.  Additional soundings from this project can be found https://doi.org/10.26023/2N8N-D62E-MM01

COMMAS.zip is the output for an electrification allowing covection model, including simulated balloon trajectories through the thunderstorm.  

efmlib.zip is a copy of the efmlib repository, as used in the publication.  Updates to this library are still being made to the git repository https://github.com/deeplycloudy/efmlib
