Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3)

The Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry (DC3) field campaign is exploring the impact of large thunderstorms on the concentration of ozone and other substances in the upper troposphere. The campaign is being led by the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, and is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA.

The NASA DC-8, the NSF/NCAR Gulfstream-V (GV), and the DLR Falcon 20 are based in Salina, Kansas for the mission.

 

Watch a time-lapse video of the inside of the NASA DC-8 as over 20 instruments were installed.
