ONR Tropical Cyclone Motion Research Initiative: Data Users Guide to Observations
Abstract
The Tropical Cyclone Motion (TCM-90) Data User's Guide addresses the collection, types, preparation, quality control, format and data base structure for all data collected during the field phase of TCM-90. Additionally, this Guide addresses the data collected from the three concurrent tropical cyclone field experiments (Elsberry 1990): (1) ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee Special Experiment Concerning Typhoon Recurvature and Unusual Movement (SPECTRUM); (2) USSR TYPHOON-90 expedition; and (3) Taiwan Area Typhoon Experiment (TATEX). The Data Management Plan contained in Elsberry et al. (1990) describes a framework for construction of a comprehensive data set that utilizes all of the data from the concurrent tropical cyclone experiments. This Data User's Guide will aid researchers who wish to utilize this complete data set.
