Description

Content

IAGOS-CARIBIC_MS_files_collection_20241028.zip contains merged IAGOS-CARIBIC (CARIBIC-1 and CARIBIC-2; <https://www.caribic-atmospheric.com/>) data, on a 10s grid. There is one file per IAGOS-CARIBIC flight. netCDF files were generated from NASA Ames 1001. For detailed content information, see global and variable attributes. Global attribute `na_file_header` contains the original NASA Ames file header as an array of strings.
