Descripción
Sumario:	<p>As part of the EUREC<span class="inline-formula"><sup>4</sup></span>A (Elucidating the role of cloud–circulation coupling in climate) field campaign, the German research aircraft <i>HALO</i> (<i>High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft</i>), configured as a cloud observatory, conducted 15 research flights in the trade-wind region east of Barbados in January and February 2020. Narrative text, aircraft state data, and metadata describing <i>HALO</i>'s operation during the campaign are provided. Each <i>HALO</i> research flight is segmented by timestamp intervals into standard elements to aid the consistent analysis of the flight data. Photographs from <i>HALO</i>'s cabin and animated satellite images synchronized with flight tracks are provided to visually document flight conditions. As a comprehensive product from the remote sensing observations, a multi-sensor cloud mask product is derived and quantifies the incidence of clouds observed during the flights. In addition, to lower the threshold for new users of <i>HALO</i>'s data, a collection of use cases is compiled into an online book, <i>How to EUREC4A</i>, included as an asset with this paper. This online book provides easy access to most of EUREC<span class="inline-formula"><sup>4</sup></span>A's <i>HALO</i> data through an intake catalogue. Code and data are freely available at the locations specified in Table <a href="#Ch1.T6">6</a>.</p>
