PACE: Precipitaiton Augmentation for Crops Experiment
The Precipitation Augmentation for Crops Experiment (CROPS) was run jointly by NOAA Flatland Radar Project and Illinois State WAter Survey during the summer of 1989 near Champaign, Illinois.  Specific objectives were to examine the effects of seeding...

T-28: SDSMT T-28 Aircraft
The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT) armored T-28 aircraft was operated under cooperative agreements between SDSMT and the National Science Foundation (NSF) Lower Atmospheric Observing Facility program. The T-28 supported over 20...

CPACE: Central Pacific Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment
The Central Pacific Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (CPACE) flew a Lockheed Electra airplane to sample chemical species over the Pacific with the goal of understanding the ways that phytoplankton interact with the Earth's atmosphere and affect the...

CSAE: Contrail Studies Airborne Exhaust
The primary objectives of the Contrail Studies Airborne Exhaust project were (1) the precise determination of the conditions under which a plume forms in the exhaust from the engines of the NCAR Sabreliner, and (2) comparison of those conditions with...

PASIN: Particulate matter Airborne Sampling INlet experiment
The major objective of the Particulate matter Airborne Sampling INlet experiment (PASIN) project was to determine airborne aerosol inlet losses due to inertial and electrophoretic processes in sampling inlets. It was observed in previous studies that...

SMILE: Shelf MIxed Layer Experiment
The SMILE program was a cooperative, integrated study designed to address the fundamental question of how the surface boundary layer over the continental shelf responds to atmospheric forcing, i.e., the input of momentum, turbulence, and heat through...

ERICA: Experiment on Rapidly-Intensifying Cyclones over the Atlantic
This project deals with examining the role of the baroclinic boundary layer processes in explosive cyclogenesis. The hypothesis was an important process in conjunction with other (large scale) forcing. Another objective of the project was to compare...

SMOG: Smog: Photochemical reactions producing ozone-containing smog
Photochemical ozone production, or "smog", plays an important role in air quality and global climate. Reactive nitrogen compounds are key catalysts in ozone production, but the critical concentrations are well below the detection limit of commercial...

SMT: Sulfur Measurement Studies
In this experiment three sulphur dioxide monitoring instruments, flame photometric, enhanced filter, and gold film were tested for suitability for aircraft use. A pulsed fluorescence monitor was also tested. Sampling was made under clean and polluted...
