Data Access

The mobile ISS dataset for the PLOWS project can be accessed through this URL:

ftp://ftp.eol.ucar.edu/pub/archive/iss/plows/

See the general overview for ISS datasets for a description of the dataset directory structure. For this particular project, the raw spectral data were converted from the SPC format to NetCDF using the popexam program. Those data are in the spc_nc subdirectory. See the ISS software page for information on downloading and using this software.
