Abstract

A challenging aspect of conducting airborne in situ observations of the atmosphere is how to optimize flight plans for specific objectives and constraints associated with weather and flight restrictions. For aerosol-cloud interaction research, two recent campaigns utilized a stairstepping approach whereby an aircraft conducts level legs at various altitudes while moving forward with each subsequent leg, the 2019 MONterey Aerosol Research Campaign (MONARC) over the northeast Pacific and the 2020 2022 Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer the western ATlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE) over the northwest Atlantic.
