Eole 1 Raw Temperature, Pressure and Location Data Near 200 mbar (EOLE1) at GES DISC
The Eole 1 Raw Temperature, Pressure and Location Data Near 200 mbar product was obtained from the experimenter and originally consisted of a BCD tape generated on a CDC 6600 computer, subsequently converted to ASCII characters. The data are arranged sequentially by orbit. Data from each orbit are contained in a single record and consist of a heading giving the orbit number, the number of balloons contacted, and a control number. Following the heading, the balloon number, date of observation, location, and ambient temperature and pressure are listed. A maximum of 25 balloon contacts may appear in a single record. Empty records with no balloon contacts have been omitted. These data were obtained from balloons near 200 mbar and are for the region between 30 deg S and 60 deg S. The upper level wind speed and direction can be generated from these data by comparing individual balloon locations obtained from successive orbits. Eole, also known as the Cooperative Application Satellite (CAS-A), was the the second French experimental relay and meteorological satellite and the first launched by NASA under a cooperative agreement with the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES).
