CSU Project #: 5-31931Sponsor: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Primary Investigator: Prof. Tom Vonder Haar
Start Date: February 1st, 2010
End Date: June 20th, 2013
Objectives:
- Use CloudSat and other A-train data for new studies of global and regional atmospheric energetics.
- Discover the natural variability of GAPE. Compare our results to the BBHRP effort.
- Collaborate and share results with other scientists on the CloudSat science team estimating latent heating.
- Continue as a member of the CloudSat science team.
