A brief description is provided of the way in which the principal navigational and meteorological variables measured aboard the NOAA WP3D aircraft are determined. For each variable, the sensor inputs and equations used are described and an estimate of the error in the result is provided. The report is divided into two sections: Quantities displayed on-board in real-time and additional quantities computed and available to the user on request in the final data set. An appendix describing the aircraft and much of the instrumentation is included.
