UPDATE 2016-03-31
Les seules données différentes entre la nouvelle version et l'ancienne sont les données de CO Mozart. Dans la nouvelle version, les
mesures de CO par l'instrument Mozart sont calculées en utilisant un coefficient de sensibilité déterminé par les calibrages de janvier 2014
et février 2016. La version précédente utilisait un coefficient déterminé en mai 2014, qui s'est révélé erroné.

This dataset contains the F20's "core" measurements, ie. the measurements of the
instruments operated by SAFIRE.
Observations from instruments operated by specific laboratories (for example SPIRIT) or
from instruments producing high-volume of data (UHSAS) are stored in separate and
distinct datasets.
Flights performed for the GLAM campaign consist on an east-west transect over the
Mediterranean Sea between France and Cyprus to highlight the gradient of chemical
species (O3, CO, CH4, CO2, H2O) . The flight Toulouse-Larnaca (via Menorca,
Lampedusa, and Heraklion) took place at 5000 m altitude and the flight back at 9000 m. A
specific flight between Larnaca and Paphos (west of Cyprus) sampled the lowermost,
middle and upper troposphere. The GLAM campaign also performed vertical profiles
between about 0.3 and 11 km altitude near the 4 landing sites: Minorca, Lampedusa,
Heraklion and Larnaca,
The file desc_GLAM_CORE.pdf, which is in the same directory as the data files, describes
all the parameters in the present dataset : instruments and computation applied.

Permission is granted to use these data and images in research and publications when
properly referenced (cite its DOI when available) and accompanied by the following
statement: «All measurements presented here are from the Chemistry-Aerosol
Mediterranean Experiment project (ChArMEx, http://charmex.lsce.ipsl.fr), which is the
atmospheric component of the French multidisplinary program MISTRALS (Mediterranean
Integrated Studies aT Regional And Local Scales). ChArMEx-France was principally
funded by INSU, ADEME, ANR, CNES, CTC (Corsica region), EU/FEDER, Météo-France,
and CEA. The aircrafts were operated by SAFIRE (http://www.safire.fr), which is a joint
facility of CNRS, Météo-France and CNES dedicated to flying research aircraft, and the
data processing was performed by the TRAMM team of CNRM-GAME (joint Météo-France
and CNRS research center).»
