1. Introduction

The Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) is a series of field research investigations sponsored by the Earth Science Enterprise of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The third field campaign in the CAMEX series (CAMEX-3) ran from 6 August to 20 September, 1998 and was based out of Patrick AFB, Florida. CAMEX-3 focused on the study of tropical cyclone (hurricane) development, tracking, and intensification impacts using NASA-funded aircraft and surface remote sensing instrumentation.

The Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX)-3 Mission Reports were filed every day that an aircraft flew in support of the experiment. The reports include a short description of the day's mission, its objective, and notes.

2. Data Format

Data is in html format. A data file is created for each daily mission report and is of the form:

camex3.fltsum.yymmdd.html

where camex3.fltsum represents CAMEX3 mission report (or flight summary), yymmdd is year month day followed by the.html extension.

An example is found here.
