1 Jeff Stith, Andrew Gettelman NCAR is sponsored by the National Science Foundation Southern Ocean Studies: NCAR Measurement capabilities and integrating the measurements with the Community Earth System Model (CESM)

2 NSF C130: heavy-lift research aircraft 10 + Hours Endurance Typical payload 15,000 lb Range 3100nmi Altitude 26,000 ft

3 Gulfstream V: A Platform for Global Scale Measurements Long-Range (up to ~5000 n miles ) High Altitude (up to 51,000 feet) Up to ~6000 lb payload Up to 12 hours endurance (10 hours typical) Six under-wing hardpoints Up and Down (2) Co-Aligned 20 inch optical viewports Ample inlets and fuselage hard points

4 HIAPER Pole-to-Pole (HIPPO) : Global scale research in different seasons Flight Hours: 86 (January 2009) 90 (October 2009) 85 (March 2010) 97 (June 2011) 103 (August 2011) Total Flights : 64 Distance : 171,000 miles Vertical Profiles: 461

5 3VCPI InstrumentIssues 2DC (fast)No small particles 2DPOnly C130-possible revision 3VCPI (2DS+CPI)Effects of tube still under study SID II-HSmall sample volume. Performance under study, probably best for ci CDPSmall sample volume. Limited to droplets/small ice FSSP (un-shrouded)Similar to CDP UHSASContinuous accumulation mode aerosols CVI, Aerosol Mass Spec, small particle mobility analysis, Special request HOLODEC IIPromising in development HIAPER Cloud Radar InstrumentDescription HIAPER Cloud radarW-band polarmetric radar (scanning) HSRLHigh Spectral Resolution calibrated aerosol lidar (extinction, cross section, depolarization) Wyoming radar and lidar Cloud radar and lidar for C130/ King Air DropsondesBoth aircraft Ground-basedS-Pol, Sounding facilities, surface flux, coming: water vapor DIAL Combination of Radar/lidar with in-situ measurements is very powerful!
