La campaña de campo Western Wildfire Experiments for Cloud Chemistry, Aerosol Absorption, and Nitrogen (WE-CAN) ocurrió del 22 de julio al 18 de septiembre de 2018. Este video describe las preguntas científicas principales que investiga WE-CAN. Visión general de la campaña de campo La comprensión de la química en el humo de los incendios forestales occidentales tiene importantes ramificaciones para la calidad del aire, los ciclos de nutrientes, el tiempo y el clima. Este proyecto caracteriza sistemáticamente las emisiones y el primer día de evolución de las plumas de los incendios forestales del oeste de los EE. UU. El estudio se enfoca en tres conjuntos de preguntas científicas relacionadas con el nitrógeno fijo, los aerosoles absorbentes, y la activación de nubes y la química en las plumas de incendios forestales. Los datos se obtuvieron con el uso del avión de investigación NCAR / NSF C-130.

RELÁMPAGO, or the Remote Sensing of Electrification, Lightning, and Mesoscale/Microscale Processes with Adaptive Ground Observations, is a field campaign supported by NCAR in Argentina and active from June 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019. This video describes some of the science education and outreach that took place as part of the RELÁMPAGO field campaign. Field Campaign Overview: RELÁMPAGO will provide unique observations of atmospheric and surface conditions in a region with substantial terrain and explore a regime of convection not observed comprehensively. RELÁMPAGO will form a key part of an observation network that will elucidate the tight connections between the land surface, complex terrain, convective development, and the production of severe weather, role of terrain processes in initiating and developing organized convective systems and altering flows within and above the convective boundary layer, and roles of environmental moisture, aerosols, and instability on the resultant intensity, organization, precipitation, and high impact weather production of deep convective systems. Through its unique configuration of atmospheric profiling and remote sensing capabilities, understanding of processes that impact prediction of societal hazards will be improved.
