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 the ftp server at /sparc/wavas. Access restrictions have been lifted and all data in the WAVAS archive are now publicly available.
Further information on WAVAS including SPARC Report No. 2 can be found here.
