6.3) Exercise 2


The file core_imk-dornier128_20050629_2.na, contains some data from a research aircraft flight.

First use your read_ascii_cols procedure to read the data from the file. The file contains 45 header lines and the data is stored in 29 columns.

Once you've read the data in, produce a plot containing a time-series of the temperature. Take a look at the header text to work out the column numbers. Column 0 is "Time in seconds since midnight".

Now produce a temperature time-series plot for only when the aircraft was level. Look at the pitch altitude.

Finally plot a temperature time-series for only when the aircraft was flying straight and level. Also look at the bank altitude.
