The aircraft <br />carries its standard complement of research instruments including <br />sensors to measure air pressure, temperature and dew point <br />temperature, cloud liquid water content (King probe), cloud <br />droplets (FSSP probe), cloud ice particles (2D-C probe) and <br />aircraft position (Loran-C and GPS). A forward-pointing video <br />camera will provide a record of general cloud conditions. <br />Derived quantities from aircraft observations will include <br />aircraft heading and true air speed, and horizontal wind speed <br />and direction. In addition, a ScienTech Inc. precision Tracer <br />Gas Analyzer will be operated on the aircraft to provide real- <br />time measurements of SF6 tracer gas concentration. A Science <br />Engineering Associates computer-based data acquisition system <br />will record all observations (except video and voice) at least <br />once per second. <br /> <br />NOAA will provide calibration gases and all apparatus needed to <br />maintain all research instrumentation in a calibrated state <br />during sampling missions. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />NOAA will also obtain hangar facilities for the C-90 aircraft in <br />Reno, NV, and all other ground-support facilities needed to <br />maintain and operate the aircraft. <br /> <br />33 <br />
