The Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) is a series
of field research investigations sponsored by the Earth Science
Enterprise of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The third field campaign in the
CAMEX series (CAMEX-3) was based at Patrick Air Force Base ,
Florida from 6 August - 23 September, 1998. CAMEX-3 successfully
studied Hurricanes Bonnie, Danielle, Earl and Georges. CAMEX-3
collected data for research in tropical cyclone development, tracking,
intensification, and landfalling impacts using NASA-funded aircraft
and surface remote sensing instrumentation.
|
CAMEX-3produced high spatial and temporal
information of hurricane structure, dynamics, and motion. These data,
when analyzed within the context of more traditional aircraft, satellite,
and ground-based radar observations, are providing additional insight
to hurricane modelers and forecasters who continually strive to improve
hurricane predictions.
