CABLE: Clean Air Boundary Layer Experiment

Summary

The major scientific goal of this experiment was to investigate the atmosphere for evidence of parallel instabilities which may lead to the development of squall lines in the central United States. Previous data collected in the SESAME 1979 Experiment indicates that parallel instabilities may be associated with the development of squall lines in the central United States, and that these parallel instabilities may be of very long duration. This experiment was the first project flown by the King Air.
