The Cloud and Land Surface Interaction Campaign (CLASIC)
June 29, 2007
The Cloud and Land Surface Interaction Campaign (CLASIC) was conducted at the ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) field measurement site during June 2007. The goal of this cross-disciplinary interagency research was to increase the understanding of how land surface processes influence cumulus convection, including human-induced land surface changes. The NASA ER-2 high-altitude aircraft, based in Houston (Ellington Field), conducted six missions over Oklahoma during the month. Three Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres instrument teams participated: Cloud Physics Lidar (CPL), Cloud Radar System (CRS), and the MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS). Full Story
