Science expeditions in snow, hail and air pollution

NSF Stories showcases several research campaigns supported by our NSF NCAR Earth Observing Laboratory facilities. The Data Management team is contributing to all three campaigns (S2noCliME, ICECHIP, and GOTHAAM), with RAF additionally supporting the GOTHAAM campaign.

Starting this winter through next summer, the U.S. National Science Foundation is supporting three field campaigns, or collaborative research activities, to study atmospheric phenomena. The first will take place in Colorado and focus on snowstorms. Soon after that wraps up, another group of researchers will gather in the Great Plains to study hailstorms. Finally, a team of scientists will take to the skies above New York City to look at air pollution drivers.
