  Upcoming Campaigns

2005 - 2007
Carbon in Coastal Waters - This project investigates the relationships between DOC and CDOM and between carbon and ocean color.
[Project Summary]

Tropical Composition, Clouds and Climate Coupling Experiment (TC-4) - The Tropical Composition, Cloud and Climate Coupling (TC-4) experiment will take scientists to the extreme environment of the upper troposphere to measure the movement of gases and tiny particles called aerosols. By closely examining the chemical and physical processes that occur in this region, researchers will gain valuable insight on issues involving global climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, and global tropospheric chemistry.
[Project Summary]

Cloud Land Surface Interaction Campaign (CLASIC) - The Cloud Land Surface Interaction Campaign (CLASIC) will study cumulus convection and associated thunderstorm formation. Both processes are strongly controlled by land surface conditions but also influence the land surface itself through rain-induced changes in soil moisture and photosynthesis.
