The NOAA Research Facilities Center (RFC) Lockheed WP-3D research aircraft have each been equipped with a computer-based data acquisition system. The primary use for this system is to collect and record the meteorological, oceanographic, and positional data provided by the various sensors and navigation equipment mounted on or expelled from the aircraft. In addition, these data are selectively analyzed and displayed in real-time by the graphics system. Together, these two systems and the attendant hardware form the Research Aircraft Measurement System (RAMS). This report offers a basic explanation of the operation and application of RAMS.
