  1. Investigation of High Resolution Water Vapor and Aerosol Distributions in Tropical Cyclone Development During the NAMMA Field Experiment Edward Browell, LaRC (PI); Syed Ismail, LaRC (Co-PI); Richard Ferrare, LaRC (Co-I); T. N. Krishnamurti, FSU (Co-I); Jason Dunion, NOAA/U Miami (Co-I) • LASE Measurements • Water vapor profiles • - daytime and nighttime • - surface to tropopause • - 330 m vert. & 15 km hor. • - accuracy (6% or 0.01 g/kg) • Aerosol/cloud profiles • 30 m vert. & 200 m hor. • LASE Retrievals • Relative humidity profiles • Aerosol backscatter/extinction profiles • Precipitable Water Vapor • qe, qv • NAMMA Investigations • Link GOES SAL imagery w LASE mea. & interaction w AEWs/TCs • Invest. SAL properties w simul. air, space, & gnd measurements • Sample various SAL regions (e.g., leading edge and dust/SAL source) • Study impact of synoptic-scale SAL & moisture fields on forecasting AEW, TC, & hurricane development • Sample AEWs/TCs on consecutive days to examine impact of SAL and humidity fields on their development • Evaluate ability of satellite meas. to represent SAL moisture, aerosols, clouds (e.g. AIRS, CALIPSO) Recent Field Experiments: CAMEX-3 & 4, IHOP References: Kamineni et al., GRL (2003); Kamineni et al., JAS (2006); Wakimoto et al., MWR (2006)
