TRACE-P Video Tapes
VHS video tapes have been placed in the GTE archive for the TRACE-P
mission. The following table indicates the tapes available.
Video cameras were placed aboard each aircraft to monitor surrounding
clouds. The DC-8 had a forward cloud camera in the cockpit aimed
5.5 deg. downward; it also had a cloud camera pointing nadir located
in the rear of the aircraft. The P3-B had two forward cloud
cameras in the cockpit, one pointed 10 deg. up and on pointed 10
deg. down; it also had a cloud camera pointing nadir located in
the rear of the aircraft.
The DC-8 had video cameras recording the scope display of weather
radar and storm scope. The P-3B had a video camera recording
the scope display of the storm scope.
The numbers indicate the number of tapes in each set. For
your convenience, links are provided for each flight taking you
to the flight description (not test flights).
The tapes are available by contacting GTE Project Office
at gte+archive@larc.nasa.gov (757-864-5838
or 757-864-5839). Please allow a lead time for tapes to be reproduced
