Large-scale atmospheric conditions during DEEPWAVE-NZ
The field phase of DEEPWAVE-NZ (DEEP propagating gravity WAVE Experiment over New Zealand) was conducted in June and July 2014. Key instruments were the NSF/NCAR GV and the DLR Falcon research aircraft, a suite of ground-based instruments provided by various international Partners (e.g. NCAR's...
