TL;DR: The Deep Propagating Gravity Wave Experiment (DEEPWAVE) was designed to quantify gravity wave dynamics and effects from orographic and other sources to regions of dissipation at high altitudes as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orographic Precipitation in the Tropics: The Dominica Experiment
Ronald B. Smith,Justin R. Minder,Alison D. Nugent,Trude Storelvmo,Daniel J. Kirshbaum,Robert A. Warren,Neil P. Lareau,Phillipe Elie Palany,Arlington James,Jeffrey R. French +9 more
TL;DR: The Dominica Experiment (DOMEX) as mentioned in this paper was a large-scale experiment to study the physics of convective orographic precipitation in the tropics, with 21 research flights of the Wyoming King Air and several other observing systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratospheric gravity wave fluxes and scales during DEEPWAVE
Ronald B. Smith,Alison D. Nugent,Christopher G. Kruse,David C. Fritts,James D. Doyle,Steven D. Eckermann,Michael J. Taylor,Andreas Dörnbrack,Michael Uddstrom,William A. Cooper,P. Romashkin,Jørgen Jensen,Stuart Beaton +12 more
TL;DR: The Deep Propagating Gravity Wave Experiment (DEEPWAVE) project in June and July 2014, the Gulfstream V research aircraft flew 97 legs over New Zealand and 150 legs over the Tasman Sea and Southern Ocean, mostly in the low stratosphere at 12.1-km altitude as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condensational Growth of Drops Formed on Giant Sea-Salt Aerosol Particles
Jørgen Jensen,Alison D. Nugent +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that drop growth on giant sea-salt aerosol particles (GCCN; dry radius 0.5 m) behaves differently from those of pure water and hygroscopic contribution after drop activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The extensive aerosol, cloud, drizzle and boundary layer sampling made over open areas of the Northeast Pacific along 2-day trajectories during CSET is unprecedented and will enable modeling studies of boundary layer cloud system evolution and the role of different processes in that evolution.
