The Campaign
The Central Equatorial Pacific Experiment (CEPEX) was a field study examining how cirrus radiative effects and surface evaporation limit the maximum sea surface temperature (SST) across the Central Pacific Ocean. CEPEX involved a single deployment from March to April 1993 in the Central Pacific. NASA ER-2, Aeromet Learjet, NOAA P-3, and NCAR Electra aircraft gathered in situ and remote measurements of cloud properties, radiation, and water vapor. Shipborne and radiosonde observations were also taken. CEPEX was mainly supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DoE), with NASA playing only a significant role.
