Collaborative Research: Creation of an Online Archive of Airborne Storm Penetration

这项研究将为南达科他州矿业和技术学院的T-28风暴穿透飞机近20年来收集的空中现场数据建立一个数字在线档案。根据与美国国家科学基金会的一项合作协议，这架飞机被作为国家研究设施运营。这些数据是独一无二的，因为T-28是唯一能够穿透活跃的对流风暴收集现场数据的飞机。这项研究将存档来自超过15项研究活动的数据，并通过大学大气研究公司科学支持联合办公室以数字格式提供给广大用户社区。存档的数据将提供给当前和未来的研究人员，由于飞机已达到其有效使用寿命，因此被取消服务。这些数据可能是多年来唯一的这种类型的数据，如果再有的话。

This research will develop a digital online archive of airborne in situ data collected over nearly two decades by the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology's T-28 Storm Penetration Aircraft. The aircraft has been operated as a national research facility under a Cooperative Agreement with the National Science Foundation.These data are unique as the T-28 had been the only aircraft capable of penetrating active convective storms to collect in situ data. The research will archive the data from over 15 research campaigns and make them available, in digital format, to the broad user community via the Joint Office of Science Support at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research.The archived data will be available to current researchers as well as future researchers and because the aircraft has reached its active service life it was removed from service. These data may be the only data of this type for many years, if ever again.
