TL;DR: In this article, a combined airborne and ground-based measurement campaign was conducted to study tropical deep convective clouds over the Brazilian Amazon rain forest between 1 September and 4 October 2014.

TL;DR: The North Atlantic Waveguide and Downstream Impact Experiment (NAWDEX) explored the impact of diabatic processes on disturbances of the jet stream and their influence on downstream high-impact weather through the deployment of four research aircraft, each with a sophisticated set of remote-sensing and in situ instruments, and coordinated with a suite of ground-based measurements as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The recent EUREC$^4$A campaign as discussed by the authors was a turning point in our ability to study factors influencing clouds in the trades, how they will respond to warming, and their link to other components of the earth system, such as upper ocean processes or the life cycle of particulate matter.

TL;DR: In this article, the vertical profiles of cloud particle phase in tropical deep convective clouds (DCCs) were investigated using airborne solar spectral radiation data collected by the German High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft (HALO) during the ACRIDICON-CHUVA campaign.

TL;DR: In this paper, a configuration of the High-Altitude Long-Range Research Aircraft (HALO) as a remote sensing cloud observatory is described, and its use is illustrated with results from the first and second flights.
