    NAMMA CLOUD MICROPHYSICS (CAPS-PIP) V1

    Metadata Updated: February 22, 2025

    The NAMMA Cloud Microphysics (CAPS-PIP) dataset consists of particle size distributions from the Clouds, Aerosol and Preciptaition Spectrometer (CAPS) and the Precipitaiton Imaging Probe (PIP) from August 19, 2006 to September 12, 2006. These instruments yield precipitation, hydrometeor and aerosol sizes ranging from 0.55 - 100 microns. Data is in the form of images and ascii tables. These data files were generated during support of the NASA African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (NAMMA) campaign, a field research investigation sponsored by the Science Mission Directorate of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This mission was based in the Cape Verde Islands, 350 miles off the coast of Senegal in west Africa. Commencing in August 2006, NASA scientists employed surface observation networks and aircraft to characterize the evolution and structure of African Easterly Waves (AEWs) and Mesoscale Convective Systems over continental western Africa, and their associated impacts on regional water and energy budgets.
