The pre-depression Investigation of cloud-systems in the tropics field campaign: Perspectives of early career scientists
The pre-depression investigation of cloud-systems in the tropics (PREDICT) field experiment successfully gathered data from four developing and four decaying/non-developing tropical disturbances over the tropical North Atlantic basin between 15 August and 30 September 2010. The invaluable roles play...
