CAMPAIGN SUMMARY INFORMATION

Campaign Details
Name: Tropical Composition, Cloud and Climate Coupling (TC4)
Dates: 17 July - 08 August 2007
Location: Eastern Pacific Ocean
Principal Investigators: Dr. Michael King (NASA GSFC)
Additional Sensors: AMPR, BBIR, CoSSIR, CPL, CRS, EDOP, MTP, MVIS, S-HIS, & SSFR
Objective: This mission investigates the structure, properties and processes in the Eastern Pacific Tropics. High altitude aircraft collected tropopause data while medium altitude aircraft provided profiles and structure measurements of the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.
