What is this?

This is HALO-DB, the web platform of a data retrieval and long-term archive system.

The system was established to hold and to manage a wide range of data based on observations of the HALO research aircraft and data which are related to HALO observations.

We expect the archived datasets in HALO-DB can contribute to understanding the different processes in the Earth's subsystems.

To learn more about HALO-DB see the introduction.

What kind of data will be archived?

HALO-DB will hold datasets with the following characteristics.

• target fields of research in geosciences see introduction
• observed and modeled data
• data above processing level 1B (see glossary)
• currently full supported data formats: GTE, NASA Ames, NetCDF

Access to HALO-DB

• Metadata: In general the metadata (see glossary) of the uploaded datasets are immediately free available.
• Primary data: The primary data (see glossary) of the uploaded datasets are free available. Within the waiting period (see glossary) only registered members of the particular mission will have access to the primary data.
