The Campaign

The Convective Processes Experiment (CPEX) was a NASA investigation focused on analyzing convective processes over tropical waters to better understand the lifecycle of tropical convective storms. CPEX included a single deployment over the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea from May to June 2017. NASA's DC-8 aircraft collected profile measurements of wind, temperature, and water vapor, and also provided dual-frequency radar imagery. CPEX was funded through NASA's Atmospheric Dynamics Program.
