PAST EXPERIMENTS (2000 - previous)
3rd ARM Water Vapor IOP |
The ARM water vapor IOP was conducted to study lower tropospheric water vapor profiles at the Southern Great Plains site in Oklahoma. The emphasis was on the intercomparison of lower atmosphere water vapor measurements. Our AATS-6 took ground-based measurements of water vapor and aerosols.

The SAFARI-2000 dry season campaign took place in August-September 2000 in South Africa, Zambia, Namibia and nearby countries. AATS-14 flew on the UW CV-580 and measured aerosols and water vapor.
| ||
The PRiDE experiment was conducted in June-July 2000 in Puerto Rico. Our AATS-6 instrument on the SPAWAR Navajo was used to measure African dust, other aerosols, and water vapor. | ||
2nd ARM Water Vapor IOP |
The ARM water vapor IOP was conducted to study lower tropospheric water vapor profiles at the Southern Great Plains site in Oklahoma. The emphasis was on the intercomparison of lower atmosphere water vapor measurements. Our AATS-6 took ground-based measurements of water vapor and aerosols.

ACE-2 studied European and African aerosols in Summer 1997 near the Canary Islands and Southwest Portugal. The AATS-14 instrument flew on the CIRPAS Pelican, and the AATS-6 instrument took surface measurements from the R/V Vodyanitskiy. Please see a list of our ACE-2 publications on the website. | ||
The TARFOX experiment included AATS-6 on the UW C-131A and the first flights of AATS-14 on the CIRPAS Pelican. TARFOX was designed to measure and analyze aerosol properties and effects in the US eastern seaboard, where one of the world's major plumes of industrial haze moves from the continent over the Atlantic Ocean. It included coordinated measurements from four satellites, four aircraft, land sites, and ships. The website has a list of our publications from the TARFOX program. |
