In support of CAR related research, a CAR data processing system
was designed and implemented by the Cloud Retrieval Group at
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in early 1995. The purpose of
the processing system is to ingest CAR raw digital counts and
engineering data, and produce calibrated radiances in
Hierarchical Data Format (HDF). To complement CAR radiometric
data, a set of carefully selected C-131A or CV-580 navigation
data and in situ cloud microphysics measurements are included in
the CAR HDF data set. The end product is a self-contained, self-
describing, and information-rich data set. By clicking on one of
the field experiments to the left, one may obtain detailed
information on each of the CAR missions for that experiment,
