Hildebrand's HAPEX King Air Flux and Soundings, 1986May-Jul

The Hydrologic Atmospheric Pilot Experiment (HAPEX) was a project designed to measure the hydrological budget and evaporation flux at the scale of a general circulation model grid square (104 km2 at the time). The HAPEX research area was in the southwest part of France, and the NCAR King Air participated by making routine daytime observations of heat, moisture, and momentum fluxes during a 67-day period May 9 and July 14, 1986. This dataset contains flight-level data from 20 King Air missions.
