Current, Recent, and Upcoming Projects for the
UW King Air (n2uw)
Project	Dates	Location	PI(s)	Project Description
Upcoming
CLDGPS 08	May 08 - June 08	Laramie, WY	Tom Parish Dave Leon	Use measures of basic state variables combined with Differential GPS to investigate pressure perturbations around actively growing cumulus clouds. The perturbations will be tied to the cloud kinematics through measurements from in situ probes and airborne Doppler radar (WCR).
WWDC 08	February 08 - March 08	Laramie, WY	Bart Geerts	To be conducted in parallel with WAICO; to investigate the effects of AgI seeding of supercooled clouds in the Medicine Bow mountains.
WAICO 08	February 08 - March 08	Laramie, WY	Zhien Wang	Test and demonstrate the capability of new remote sensing tools for the UWKA. This project centers around the new Wyoming Cloud Lidar (WCL), a new microwave radiometer built by Prosensing, and the Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR).
2007
ACME 07	April 07 - August 07	Laramie, WY	David Schimel Britton Stevens Teresa Campos	Measurments of Carbon and other trace gas budgets in the Central Rocky Mountain region.
2006
COWVEX 06	October 06 - January 07	Laramie, WY	Dave Leon	Use of the WCR for validation of CloudSAT.
CuPIDO 06	July 06 - August 06	Tucson, AZ	Bart Geerts Rick Damiani	Investigation of Cumulus dynamics and forcing in southern Arizona.
DMIMS 06	May 06 - June 06	Arcata, CA	Dave Leon Jeff Snider Bart Geerts Tom Parish	Ivestigation of marine stratus and sc off the coast of California.
