Upslope: Climatology of Upslope Stratocumulus
For the Climatology of Upslope Stratocumulus (Upslope) experiment, Drs. Helmut Weickmann and Herbert Riehl utilized a QueenAir, B-80 aircraft to study the feasibility of seeding high plains upslope stratocumulus cloud systems for precipitation... 		1979-11-03 00:00:00 1979-12-28 23:59:59
FORMATION: QueenAir Formation
The QueenAir Formation (FORMATION) project investigated the methods which multi-aircraft experiments utilize to collect data from onboard instruments and the variance in the respective data caused by turbulence. Dr. Donald Lenschow flew two QueenAir... 		1979-09-10 00:00:00 1979-09-19 23:59:59
SAVE-79: Stratospheric Aerosol Validation Experiment - 1979
The Stratospheric Aerosol Validation Experiment (SAVE) took place in two short periods: November 1978 and July 1979. These periods were planned to coincide with field measurement programs to obtain “ground truth” observations for validation of the... 		1979-07-16 00:00:00 1979-07-21 23:59:59
VINN: VINN
VINN project collected PAM data from 28 PAM stations from 19790715 to 19790829. 		1979-07-15 00:00:00 1979-08-29 23:59:59
SummerMONEX: Summer Monsoon Experiment
The Monsoon Experiment (MONEX) was the core of the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP) Monsoon subprogram, which was a major international effort to achieve a better understanding of the planetary monsoon circulation, the major seasonal... 		1979-06-04 00:00:00 1979-07-25 23:59:59
NBL: Nocturnal Boundary Layer
The Nocturnal Boundary Layer (NBL) project investigated the vertical structure of the nocturnal boundary layer under clear conditions. The main objectives of this project were to observe the turbulent flux structure with respect to the position of the... 		1979-05-01 00:00:00 1979-05-09 23:59:59
SESAME: Severe Environmental Storms and Mesoscale Experiment
During the spring of 1979, NSF, NOAA, NASA, other Governmental Agencies, and 14 Universities participated in a joint field project called the Severe Environmental Storms and Mesoscale Experiment (SESAME) to learn more about the structure, meso-synoptic... 		1979-04-01 00:00:00 1979-06-15 23:59:59
CYCLES-79: Cyclonic Extratropical Storms - 1979
The Cyclonic Extratropical Storms (CYCLES) project investigated the properties of extratropical cyclonic storms and their associated precipitation off the coast of Washington. This project provided the basis for important new knowledge conceding the... 		1979-03-03 00:00:00 1979-03-28 23:59:59
JetStream-79: Project Jet Stream - 1979
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. 		1979-03-01 00:00:00 1979-03-12 23:59:59
MAF: Mountain Airflow
The main objective of project Mountain Airflow (MAF) was to observe the spatial distribution of airflow, temperature and turbulence in and adjacent to the planetary boundary layer in the undisturbed flow upwind as well as the disturbed flow downwind of... 		1979-02-15 00:00:00 1979-02-28 23:59:59
