The Campaign
The Convective Processes EXperiment - Cabo Verde (CPEX-CV) was a NASA campaign that focused on studying atmospheric dynamics and marine boundary layer properties within the tropical East Atlantic region. CPEX-CV consisted of one deployment during the boreal summer and fall of 2022 and operated out of Sal Island, Cabo Verde. NASA’s DC-8 aircraft was equipped with several instruments including the High Altitude Lidar Observatory (HALO), High Altitude Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Sounding Radiometer (HAMSR), Doppler Aerosol WiND Lidar (DAWN), and Advanced Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS) to collect measurements of tropospheric aerosols, winds, and precipitation. CPEX-CV was a continuation of the CPEX - Aerosols & Winds (CPEX-AW) campaign that took place in September 2021 in St. Croix. CPEX-CV was funded through NASA’s Atmospheric and Weather Dynamics Program.
