DISCOVER-AQ Acoustics: Measurement and Data Report

This report documents the acoustic measurements that supplemented the September 2013 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Deriving Information on Surface conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality (DISCOVER-AQ) flight tests in Houston, Texas and the corresponding data set developed from those measurements. These data include aircraft performance and position, meteorological and acoustic data of various aircraft events flown by two test aircraft at a range of altitudes. These data are supplemented by aircraft source data, measurement site location data, observations, and onboard acoustic data. The intended use of this data set is to validate the accuracy of aircraft acoustic modeling methods.
