Meteorological Airborne Data System

Abstract

The report describes the Meteorological Airborne Data System (MADS) and the associated computer data processing program, explains why the system was developed, and points out the advantages of such a system. The MADS concept was developed to fulfill the need for the collection of a large number of meteorological and related data measurements and to provide a means for the rapid conversion of the raw data into useful information for the scientist. The underlying philosophy for the system design was that it be a very usable system under field data collection conditions and that it provide the scientist with data in the simplest form useful to him and do so within a very short time period.
