- Abstract:
- EMERALD-II is a proposal to conduct an airborne measurement campaign to study the properties of clouds and the distribution of water vapour in the tropical upper troposphere. The focus of the experiment will be on the influence of deep convection. Both in-situ sampling and remote sensing will he used to investigate the interactions between particle microphysics, humidity, radiation, dynamics, and turbulence. Two separate aircraft, carrying complementary instruments, will be employed to probe the clouds from below, within and above. These aircraft are the Egrett and the King Air, both supplied by Airborne Research Australia (ARA). The measurement campaign will be conducted from Darwin in North Australia during October 2002.
