DUSTORM: Project DUSTORM

Summary

Project DUSTORM investigated the influences of both large-scale cyclogenesis and microphysical processes caused by atmospheric aerosols on the production of severe convective storms. The L-188 Electra aircraft was utilized in collecting data for this project. The experiment was centered around the dust storms that occurred in Northern Texas and Southern Oklahoma during April, 1975.
