STERAO-A project description

Stratosphere-Troposphere Experiments: Radiation, Aerosols, and Ozone (STERAO)

Summary

This project, led by James Dye, used the M-GLASS to study convection in the Colorado Front Range during June and July, 1996.

"The Stratospheric-Tropospheric Experiment: Radiation, Aerosols and Ozone (STERAO)-Deep Convection Field Project with closely coordinated chemical, dynamical, electrical, and microphysical observations was conducted in northeastern Colorado during June and July of 1996 to investigate the production of NO_x by lightning, the transport and redistribution of chemical species in the troposphere by thunderstorms, and the temporal evolution of intracloud and cloud-to-ground lightning for evolving storms on the Colorado high plains."
