DCMEX: Collection of in-situ airborne observations, ground-based meteorological and aerosol measurements and cloud imagery for the Deep Convective Microphysics Experiment

A collection of measurements made for the Deep Convective Microphysics Experiment (DCMEX) project. This includes in-situ airborne observations by the FAAM BAE-146 aircraft, cloud images from 2 NCAS cameras deployed at 3 sites in the area during the course of the field campaign and meteorological and aerosol measurements made at two groundbased stations.

DCMEX examined the formation and development of clouds over mountains and was based in the Magdalena Mountains, New Mexico area, between July and August 2022.

Associated datasets are also available:
