Tropical Cloud Systems and Processes (TCSP) Experiment

The TCSP Experiment aims to improve our understanding and prediction of tropical cyclones by using remote and in-situ sensing to study genesis, intensity, motion, rainfall potential, and landfall impacts. With a team of 25 Principal Investigators from NASA, universities, and government agencies, the experiment was conducted in July 2005 using various measurement platforms including aircraft, balloons, and satellites.
