This webpage gives access to the WAVAS archive. The WAVAS archive includes a number of H2O data sets from international aircraft campaigns, ground-based in-situ measurements, and satellite data. Some of these data are still experimental and have not been published. Public data are available on CEDA and can be accessed anonymously via:
sparc-ftp.ceda.ac.uk/sparc/wavas
Please use an ftp client such as FileZilla to connect to the ftp server as many browsers, including chrome, no longer support urls using the ftp protocol.
Further information on WAVAS including SPARC Report No. 2 can be found here.
