The Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) is a series of field research investigations sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The third field campaign in the CAMEX series (CAMEX-3) is scheduled for 6 August - 23 September, 1998 to study tropical cyclone development, tracking, intensification, and landfalling impacts using NASA-funded aircraft remote sensing instrumentation. This study will yield high spatial and temporal information of hurricane structure, dynamics, and motion. These data, when analyzed within the context of more traditional aircraft, satellite, and ground-based radar observations, should provide additional insight to hurricane modelers and forecasters who continually strive to improve hurricane predictions. During CAMEX-3, NASA will deploy a high attitude ER-2 and medium altitude DC-8 aircraft from Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. Ground-based instrumentation will also be stationed on Andros Island, Bahamas. Opportunities for coordinated aircraft missions with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hurricane Research Division are also being planned. This presentation will provide an overview of the CAMEX-3 missions and key case studies sampled. Data availability and access will also be discussed.
