Summary of Field Work: |
This project will use controlled aerosol perturbations to improve understanding of cloud responses for climate. The project includes atmospheric measurements on board the NPS/Caltech CIRPAS Twin Otter aircraft during July 2011, with more than 100 flight hours available for measuring aerosol below and in cloud. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The ship will be used to create a pattern of emissions of smoke from smoke generators mounted on the vessel. In addition, we will have two scientists on board to take meteorological measurements and observations at the surface (in addition to monitoring sea surface temperature) for coordination with the aircraft and initializing meteorological models.
We will need approximately 2 weeks of ship time for operations off the coast of Monterey in July 2011, during which we would like to operate the smoke generator. We will need to be able to mount the smoke generator in a dry location on deck or on a raised platform (to keep the engine dry); our design will include several levels of safety precautions. We will also require storage for gasoline and "fog oil" for the smoke generator. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We will be happy to accommodate several other scientists on board for other measurements during our cruise track. |
