SSN: Sea Salt Nuclei
Professor Podzimek lead the Sea Salt Nuclei (SSN) project in order to study sea salt nuclei during the winter and summer seasons near and over Padre Island just off the coast of Texas. This study concentrated on the evolution and transformation of the... 		1979-01-12 00:00:00 1979-01-19 23:59:59
SAVE-78: Stratospheric Aerosol Validation Experiment - 1978
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... 		1978-11-17 00:00:00 1978-11-25 23:59:59
WinterMONEX: Winter 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... 		1978-11-17 00:00:00 1978-12-31 23:59:59
CPSUP: Cloud Physics of Snow and Urban Plumes
The Cloud Physics of Snow and Urban Plumes (CPSUP) project concentrated on the physics and dynamics of winter snowstorms in the Midwest. Dr. Roscoe R. Braham focused on the Lake Michigan area where a number of significant meteorological problems could... 		1978-11-03 00:00:00 1978-12-19 23:59:59
PHOENIX-78: Project PHOENIX - 1978
The main objective of project PHOENIX, named after the convective boundary layer, like the bird of mythology, which rises anew each day out of the "ashes" of the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) from the previous day, was to describe the structure and... 		1978-09-01 00:00:00 1978-09-28 23:59:59
MET: Mass and Energy Transport
The Mass and Energy Transport (M. E. T) project focused on atmospheric observations over the Pacific Ocean, west of the Mount Sutro Tower in San Francisco. It also studied the process of quantifying the transport of mass and energy through... 		1978-08-03 00:00:00 1978-08-16 23:59:59
JASIN: Joint Air Sea INteraction experiment
For the Joint Air Sea Interaction (JASIN) project, the L-188 Electra was utilized to obtain horizontal distributions of fluxes of momentum, heat and water vapor over the JASIN array. This experiment was conducted in coordination with the UK C-130... 		1978-07-20 00:00:00 1978-09-01 23:59:59
CONS: Convective Storms
The Convection Storms (CONS) project utilized the QueenAir, B-80 and A-80 aircrafts to measure the precipitation growth generated in convective clouds. It resolved some of the existing uncertainties pertaining to precipitation growth taking place... 		1978-07-01 00:00:00 1978-07-31 23:59:59
MIC-78: Mountain-Induced Convection - 1978
The Mountain-Induced Convection (MIC) project focused on making measurements of the flow patterns, thermodynamics, and transport properties of moist convective systems induced by the Magdalene Mountains in New Mexico. 		1978-05-22 00:00:00 1978-06-08 23:59:59
NIMROD: Northern Illinois Meteorological Research On Downburst Project
The Northern Illinois Meteorological Research On Downburst Project (NIMROD) project data were collected in Minnesota, U.S. during the spring of 1978.  Data were collected between 19 May 1978 and 29 June 1978. 		1978-05-19 00:00:00 1978-06-29 23:59:59
