The Convection And Moisture EXperiments (CAMEX) are a series of field research investigations sponsored by the Earth Science Enterprise of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). CAMEX-4 focused on the study of tropical cyclone (hurricane) development, tracking, intensification, and landfalling impacts using NASA-funded aircraft and surface remote sensing instrumentation.
The fourth field campaign in the CAMEX series (CAMEX-4) ran from 16 August to 25 September, 2001 and was based out of Jacksonville Naval Air Station, Florida. An important addition to CAMEX-4 was the participation of the NOAA weather reconnaissance WP-3D that collected radar, video and microphysical data.
The NOAA WP-3D Videos were created giving a forward, left, right and downward views relative to the aircraft. Each view is a separate tape. All are recoreded in SVHS format in compressed time mode. That means that the video shows time passing at a rate approximately 12.5 times that of normal speed (e.g. 1 minute real time takes 5 seconds on the video).
NOTE: These videos require the use of a Super VHS playback machine. They will not work on a VHS player.
Videotapes (up to four per flight) use the following naming convention:
c4dvid_ddmmyy_vvvvv
where ddmmyy is the day, month, year and
vvvvv is "forward", "left", "right" or "nadir" view
