CAMEX-4 NOAA WP-3D Cloud Physics (KAMP)

The fourth field campaign in the CAMEX series (CAMEX-4) ran from 16 August to 25 September, 2001 and was based out of Jacksonville Naval Air Station, Florida. An important addition to CAMEX-4 was the participation of the NOAA weather reconnaissance WP-3D that collected radar, video and microphysical data.

The primary cloud physics instruments on the WP-3D are the 2D-C (0.005 mm resolution) and 2D-P (0.15 mm resolution) PMS probes for sampling the sizes of raindrops and ice crystals. The data from the 2D-imaging probes were recorded on DAT (4mm tape) since 1992. Small ice columns are detected directly on a FORMVAR replicator. Cloud water is measured by both JW and King Probes.
