Data

The SASCWATCH project collects and leverages a wide variety of current/past observational and model data. Below are links to the relevant locations where this data can be found:

• NOAA and Air Force dropsonde data are transferred to an FTP site shortly after each flight
• The ALAMO temperature, salinity, and pressure data will be made available in real time. Quality-controlled ALAMO data will reside at National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)
• AXBT data will be quality controlled and eventually reside at National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). Past AXBT data from the TROPIC program are publicly available
• Saildrone data is available through the NOAA PMEL site
• ADWSD wave drifter data will be transmitted by Iridium telemetry to Scripps Institution of Oceanography for postprocessing and archiving
• WSRA remotely sensed wave data is available from the vendor's site
• IWRAP and KaIA data is hosted by NOAA NESDIS
• microSWIFT wave spectra data from the University of Washington is available for past tropical cyclone deployments
