BAS Masin Twin-Otter aircraft data
Abstract
Data is collected on board the British Antarctic Survey MASIN Twin Otter aircraft for a range of projects in the Antarctic and at other locations. These projects include atmospheric, boundary layer and cloud/aerosol studies.
The instrument suite includes standard temperature and water vapour sensors as well as a turbulence probe allowing full atmospheric profile measurements of temperature, dew point and winds. A DMT Cloud and aerosol spectrometer (CAPS) probe is used for cloud studies and a closed path Licor H2O/CO2 instrument, Grimm optical particle counter and cloud condensation nuclei counter are fed from simple Rosemount inlets.
