        The GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) was the first major 
international experiment of the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP). It 
was conducted over the tropical atlantic ocean and adjacent land areas under 
the joint auspices of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the 
International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). The field operations 
extended from June through September 1974, with headquarters located in Dakar, 
Senegal. Digital data for GATE are listed under four categories: first, 
information products prepared during the experiments, next, nationally 
processed and validated data, third, internationally processed and validated 
data, last national holdings (raw data inventories). Digital data available for 
information products prepared during the experiment are as follows: 1. quick 
look data set - 7 tapes.  2. unvalidated teleprinter paper tape data set tapes. 
digital data available for national processed and validated data are as 
follows: 7 tapes,general.  28 tapes, ship, general.  120 tapes, ship, surface 
meteorological. 24 tapes, ship, upper air.  155 tapes, ship, tethered balloon.  
41 tapes, ship, oceanographic.  58 tapes, ship, radar (photographic and 
digital).  6 tapes, ship, radiation.  3 tapes, ship, navigation.  1 tape, buoy, 
cyclesonde (c-scale) (d-type).  2 tapes, buoy, other c-scale (e-or f-type).  1 
tape, buoy, wave (g-or h-type).  1 tape, buoy, u.s. current (k-type).  4 tapes, 
buoy, meteorological.  136 tapes, aircraft, general.  2 tapes, aircraft, flight 
level meteorology.  1 tape, aircraft, cloud physics and/or particle/aerosol 
samplers. 46 tapes, aircraft gust probe.  2 tapes, aircraft, dropsonde.  5
tapes, aircraft, other.  digital data available for internatioinal processed 
and 17 tapes, general.  1 tape, land station, surface.  1 tape, ship, general.  
2 tapes, ship, surface meteorology.  14 tapes, ship, upper air.  2 tapes, 
satellite, cloud displacement vectors. Digital data available for national 
holdings (raw data inventories.  52 tapes, general. U.S.A. GARP level ii 
dataset (NMC Global Syn. data set).  1 tape, land station, surface.  15 tapes, 
ship, upper air. 214 tapes, ship, radar (digital or photographic).  197 tapes, 
aircraft, general.  68 tapes, aircraft, other.  8433 tapes, satellite, digital 
or photographic images.  3 tapes, satellite cloud displacement vectors.  15 
tapes, satellite, sea surface temperature (mapped data on analysis products). 1 
tape, satellite, other.
