Resource Abstract:
- description: The ALTUS Cloud Electrification Study (ACES) was based at the Naval Air Facility Key West in Florida. ACES researchers
in August 2002 conducted overflights of thunderstorms over the southwestern corner of Florida. For the first time in NASA
research an uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV) named ALTUS was used to collect cloud electrification data. Carrying field mills,
optical sensors, electric field sensors and other instruments, it allowed scientists to collect cloud electrification data
for the first time from above the storm from it's birth through dissipation. This experiment allowed scientists to achieve
the dual goals of gathering weather data safely, and testing new aircraft technology. This dataset consists of data from the
Electric Field Mills which yield information about the atmospheric electrical fields above the instruments.; abstract: The
