The Campaign
The Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) field campaign focused on the effects of deep, mid-latitude continental convective clouds, including their dynamical, physical, and lightning processes, on upper-tropospheric composition and chemistry. DC3 conducted a single deployment across most of the continental US, with operations over Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, and Alabama during May and June of 2012. Three airborne platforms collected in situ and remote sensing data, including specific gas and chemical concentrations, cloud and precipitation particle microphysical properties, and temperature and water vapor profiles. Ground-based observation sites used scanning radars and radiosondes. DC3 was funded by NASA’s Tropospheric Composition Program.
