Experiment Summary
- Experiment Name: Central Equatorial Pacific Experiment
- Dates Spanned: 09 March 1993 - 08 April 1993
- Location: Central Equatorial Pacific Ocean
- Science Objective:
The overall scientific goal of CEPEX is to establish
the respective roles of cirrus radiative effects and
surface evaporation in limiting maximum surface temperature in the equatorial Pacific.
Direct in-situ measurement of radiation fluxes, cirrus microphysics, evaporation rates,
and water-vapor distributions must be obtained over a range of
SSTs, from regions where SST is just below the convection threshold temperature
to regions where SST exceeds it.

IMPORTANT:
Due to leaky liquid nitrogen dewars on MAS during CEPEX,
channel 7 goes dead roughly 3 hours after take-off, all other NIR
and IR channels die roughly 4.5 hours after take-off. Only the
2 visible channels are unaffected, since they are not liquid
nitrogen cooled. The symptom of a dying channel, as observed in
the browse imagery, is a scene with increasing numbers of black streaks
that eventually obliterate the image and can be observed on several of the
infrared browse images offered below.
