ALPEX: Alpine Experiment
The last major field program of the Global Atmospheric Research Programme (GARP), the Alpine Experiment (ALPEX), addressed the problem of airflow over and around mountains and how the resultant features of such airflow affect the global, regional, and... 		1982-03-01 00:00:00 1982-04-30 23:59:59
ONT: Organic Nuclei Tests
In weather modification programs, ice nucleating materials, and their proper seeding in response to cloud characteristics, control the results. Economical, environmental and technical aspects of existing, or possible future, problems with commonly used... 		1982-01-16 00:00:00 1982-02-16 11:59:59
MSS-81: Marine Stratus Studies - 1981
The Marine Stratus Studies (MSS) project, led by Dr. James W. Telford, studied the marine stratus near the California coast. This project was aimed at explaining the development of the dynamics, microphysics and radioactive properties of stratus clouds... 		1981-09-23 00:00:00 1981-10-12 23:59:59
OCFS: Ozone Conservation and Flux Studies
The main objective of the Ozone Conservation and Flux Studies (OCFS) experiment, was to describe the structure and scale of the momentum, temperature and moisture perturbations which were of primary importance to the storage and transport of energy... 		1981-07-07 00:00:00 1981-08-01 23:59:59
CCOPE: Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment
The Bureau of Reclamation (BuREC) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) collaborated in a joint field program called the Cooperative Convective Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE) that was conducted near Miles City, Montana (22 May - 7... 		1981-05-18 00:00:00 1981-08-07 23:59:59
CODE-I: First COastal Dynamics Experiment
The purpose of the First COastal Dynamics Experiment (CODE-I) project was to identify and study important dynamical processes that govern the wind-driven motion of coastal water over the continental shelf. Measurements of the wind field, momentum, heat... 		1981-04-21 00:00:00 1981-05-20 23:59:59
OPUS-I: Organization of Persistent Upwelling Structures - I
The goal of the Organization of Persistent Upwelling Structures (OPUS) experiment was to understand the role of persistent upwelling structures in the relationship between circulation and plankton distribution. QueenAir, A-80 aircraft measurements were... 		1981-03-18 00:00:00 1981-03-31 23:59:59
JetStream-81: Project Jet Stream - 1981
Project Jet Stream investigated the structure of the jet stream, associated fronts and stratospheric tropospheric exchanges. It is also focused on observing the geostrophic character of the wind field at and in the vicinity of the jet stream. This... 		1981-02-16 00:00:00 1981-04-04 23:59:59
LAS: Laser Absorption Spectroscopy
The Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (LAS) project focused on testing the usefulness of tunable laser absorption spectroscopy for the measurement of atmospheric trace gases. Dr. William Mankin flew a tunable infrared diode laser and a small white... 		1981-01-19 00:00:00 1981-02-09 23:59:59
LESS-80: Lake Effect Snow Storms - 1980
Lake-induced clouds and snowstorms are important elements of winter weather in the Great Lakes Region. The Lake Effect Snow Storms - 1980 (LESS-80) experiment was a continuation of research that began in 1977. This experiment used the, B-80 QueenAir to... 		1980-12-01 00:00:00 1981-01-22 23:59:59
