This will complement the EUREC4A measurements, which have focused on the winter downstream trade-wind regimes and provide a more comprehensive picture of the tropical circulation. +Studying the impact of different aerosol regimes. HALO will operate three weeks in the western (42W-60W) tropical Atlantic flying out of Barbados, and three weeks in the eastern (25W-43W) flying out of Cape Verde, respectively. This will contrast clouds and circulation in relatively particulate-free air, or in aged dust layers, in the west, with air masses with large (Saharan) dust burdens in the east. +Towards a global coverage by locally validating EarthCARE. The upcoming EarthCARE satellite will become a spaceborne cloud observatory and will enable us to extend local studies to globa al scale. To establish confidence in EarthCARE products and inform their most intelligent use, we will intensively use HALO underflights for validation purposes. diff --git a/orcestra_book/percussion.md b/orcestra_book/percussion.md deleted file mode 100644 index 67df47a4..00000000 --- a/orcestra_book/percussion.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,5 +0,0 @@ -# PERCUSSION - -**Persistent EarthCare underflight studies of the ITCZ and organized convection** - -*Lead PIs: Julia Windmiller, Bjorn Stevens, Lutz Hirsch (MPI-M), Silke Gross, Andrea Haushold (DLR)*
