Data

DCOTSS collected or otherwise produced 8 unique datasets for post-campaign analysis, all of which will be permanently archived and publicly available at the NASA Atmospheric Science Data Center. At present, all existing project data for the 2021 deployment are publicly available. Data from the 2022 deployment will be public in early 2023. The available datasets are as follows:

1. ER-2 instrument (in-situ) data
2. Mission report data
3. Balloon observations of ozone and water vapor
4. ERA5 reanalysis and back trajectories along flight track
5. Radar and satellite observations of tropopause-overshooting convection
6. Overshoot volume forward trajectories driven by ERA5 winds and initialized using radar and satellite observations
7. Chemistry model output along flight track
8. Convection-allowing model (CAM) output for select flights or sensitivity experiments

Details on the datasets produced and guidelines for their use are available in the DCOTSS Data Management Plan. Questions about the data should be directed to each dataset's PI, which is listed in the Data Management Plan and otherwise available in the metadata for each DCOTSS file and in the open data workshop materials provided below.

2022 DCOTSS Open Data Workshop

The 2022 DCOTSS open data workshop was held on 8 December 2022. The 1.5-hour workshop consisted of a detailed campaign overview presentation, a short demonstration on data access, a short demonstration on data analysis for a 2021 DCOTSS research flight, and a brief period of open discussion. There were 36 external registrants for the workshop. Access to all workshop materials, including a recording:

• Overview presentation
• Data access presentation
• Repository for data demonstration code
• Meeting recording (152 MB; 1 hr, 22 min)

2021 DCOTSS Open Data Workshop

The 2021 DCOTSS open data workshop was held on 7 December 2021. The 4-hour workshop consisted of a brief overview presentation, 10-min presentations for all instrument data and other key project datasets, and several breakout sessions for public Q&A on each dataset. There were 19 external registrants for the workshop. Access to all workshop materials, including a recording:

• Overview presentation
• Individual dataset presentations
• Meeting recording (303 MB; 3 hr, 27 min)
