Abstract:
The Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) is a series of field
research investigations sponsored by the Earth Science Enterprise of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The fourth
field campaign in the CAMEX series (CAMEX-4) ran from 16 August to 24
September, 2001 and was based out of Jacksonville Naval Air Station,
... Florida. CAMEX-4 focused on the study of tropical cyclone (hurricane)
development, tracking, intensification, and landfalling impacts using
NASA-funded aircraft and surface remote sensing instrumentation.
The NASA DC-8 Meteorological Measurement System consists of three
major systems: an air-motion sensing system to measure air velocity
with respect to the aircraft, an aircraft-motion sensing system to
measure the aircraft velocity with respect to the earth, and a data
acquisition system to sample, process, and record the measured
quantities. ?
