GRIP Mission Reports Table of Contents
These reports are a collection of various mission related activities which were logged during the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) experiment. They include aircraft flight reports, platform scientist reports, Tri-Agency mission reports, GRIP daily telecons, plan of the day, and the daily weather forecast reports. There is an excel file,GRIP_Aug-Sep2010_Tri-Agency_AircraftWeeklySchedule_30Sep2010.xls, that shows the aircrafts' flight schedules. The Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) experiment was a NASA Earth science field experiment conducted August 5 to September 30, 2010. The major goal was to better understand how tropical storms form and develop into major hurricanes. NASA used the DC-8 aircraft, the WB-57 aircraft and the Global Hawk Unmanned Airborne System (UAS), configured with a suite of in situ and remote sensing instruments that were used to observe and characterize the lifecycle of hurricanes. This campaign also capitalized on a number of ground networks and space-based assets, in addition to the instruments deployed on aircraft from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida ( DC-8), Houston, Texas (WB-57), and NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, California (Global Hawk). More information about this Campaign can be found on the GRIP web site: https://ghrc.nsstc.nasa.gov/home/field-campaigns/grip These documents are in Acrobat Portable Document Format (.pdf) format. The files in this dataset are illustrated by a representative collection of examples listed below:
