*Dropsonde assimilation data is not currently available for all IOPs. For IOPs and models with three numbers listed these numbers represent the number of dropsondes assimilated into the 18 UTC, 00 UTC, and 06 UTC assimilation windows respectively. IOPs with one value listed is representative of the total number of dropsondes assimilated across all windows. This table will continue to be updated as data becomes available.
**During 2016 the NOAA G-IV and NASA Global Hawk conducted research flights as part of the NOAA El Niño Rapid Response (ENRR) field campaign. The Global Hawk partially sampled ARs in coordination with the AR Recon C-130s. The G-IV sampled tropical conditions south of Hawaii based on ENRR’s primary airborne objectives, which focused on tropical convection. Dropsonde assimilation numbers for 2016 only include dropsondes from the AR Recon C-130s. For more information on the ENRR Global Hawk and G-IV flights, see Dole at al. 2018 (Bull. Amer. Meteor. Soc.).

Note: Data is also provided on this website for the CalWater campaigns, which were scientific field studies to better understand the dynamics of ARs offshore and aerosol transports.
