**ORCESTRA - Organized Convection and EarthCare Studies over the Tropical Atlantic**

The overarching objective of ORCESTRA is to better understand the physical mechanisms that organize tropical convection at the mesoscale, influencing the structure and dynamics of the inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ). This includes the interaction of convective organization with tropical waves and air-sea interaction, and the impact of convective organization on climate and the Earth’s radiation budget and processes of tropical cyclogenesis. In addition to advancing understanding of tropical meteorology and atmospheric processes, ORCESTRA observations will help calibrate and validate satellite remote sensing (especially EarthCARE) and a new generation of global ocean-eddy and storm-resolving climate models.

ORCESTRA is an international initiative that combines different sub-campaigns:
```{admonition} Overall objectives of the ORCESTRA campaign
:class: tip
1. Determine the drivers of mesoscale organisation in the tropics and their impact on smallscale weather systems and the large scale circulation with a particular focus on the structure and variability of the Atlantic ITCZ
2. Serve as a benchmark for satellite remote sensing and a new generation of high resolution storm resolving models
```

## Date and Location

ORCESTRA will happen in August and September 2024 in the tropical Atlantic region.

ORCESTRA will happen in August and September 2024 in the tropical Atlantic region. Further details can be found on the [ORCESTRA overview](orcestra.md) page. This book further includes information on the science, the (measurement) strategy, preparations (e.g. the virtual field campaign), and soonish also everything around data including a data concept, data policy, data access and description.
