The Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) HIPPO data archive provides integrated measurement data products, component data and documentation as listed below. Note that files are in ASCII text format.
Data products included are results from 90+ species from six categories, all with navigation and atmospheric structure data: 1) greenhouse gases and carbon cycle gases, 2) ozone and water vapor, 3) black carbon and aerosols, 4) CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs, 5) light hydrocarbons and PAN, and 6) sulfur gases and ocean-derived gases.
The “HIAPER Pole-to-Pole Observations (HIPPO) of Carbon Cycle and Greenhouse Gases Study” measured cross sections of atmospheric concentrations approximately pole-to-pole, from the surface to the tropopause, five times during different seasons over a three year period. A comprehensive suite of atmospheric trace gases pertinent to understanding the Carbon Cycle was measured. The program provided the first comprehensive, global survey of atmospheric trace gases, covering the full troposphere in all seasons and multiple years.
