The Campaign
The Tropical Cloud Systems and Processes (TCSP) was a NASA-led campaign that studied tropical cyclone (TC) development along with the dynamics and thermodynamics of the TC life cycle. TCSP had a single deployment in July 2005 over the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the eastern North Pacific Ocean. NASA's ER-2 aircraft collected remotely sensed measurements at higher altitudes within TCs, while NOAA's P-3 aircraft sampled TCs closer to the surface. Ground-based measurements from lightning detection networks and radiosondes were also collected. TCSP was funded through NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
