The Campaign

The Convection and Precipitation/Electrification Experiment (CaPE) was a multi-agency field campaign that studied precipitation and lightning in tropical convective systems over land and water. It involved one deployment in central Florida during the summer of 1991. Several aircraft were used to gather measurements of precipitation, lightning, wind, and other meteorological measurements. Ground-based radar and surface networks collected additional measurements. CaPE was sponsored by NSF, FAA, NASA, NOAA, and the United States Air Force.
