title = "The Coupling Between Tropical Meteorology, Aerosol Lifecycle, Convection, and Radiation during the Cloud, Aerosol and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex)",
abstract = "The NASA Cloud, Aerosol, and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex) employed the NASA P-3, Stratton Park Engineering Company (SPEC) Learjet 35, and a host of satellites and surface sensors to characterize the coupling of aerosol processes, cloud physics, and atmospheric radiation within the Maritime Continent's complex southwest monsoonal environment. Conducted in the late summer of 2019 from Luzon, Philippines, in conjunction with the Office of Naval Research Propagation of Intraseasonal Tropical Oscillations (PISTON) experiment with its R/V Sally Ride stationed in the northwestern tropical Pacific, CAMP2Ex documented diverse biomass burning, industrial and natural aerosol populations, and their interactions with small to congestus convection. The 2019 season exhibited El Ni{\~n}o conditions and associated drought, high biomass burning emissions, and an early monsoon transition allowing for observation of pristine to massively polluted environments as they advected through intricate diurnal mesoscale and radiative environments into the monsoonal trough. CAMP2Ex's preliminary results indicate 1) increasing aerosol loadings tend to invigorate congestus convection in height and increase liquid water paths; 2) lidar, polarimetry, and geostationary Advanced Himawari Imager remote sensing sensors have skill in quantifying diverse aerosol and cloud properties and their interaction; and 3) high-resolution remote sensing technologies are able to greatly improve our ability to evaluate the radiation budget in complex cloud systems. Through the development of innovative informatics technologies, CAMP2Ex provides a benchmark dataset of an environment of extremes for the study of aerosol, cloud, and radiation processes as well as a crucible for the design of future observing systems.",

note = "Funding Information: Acknowledgments. This paper is dedicated to our dear friend and colleague Gemma Narisma, CAMP2Ex co-lead and director of the Manila Observatory, who passed away in 2021. CAMP2Ex could only be performed with her persistent effort and the cooperation of many Philippine entities including PAGASA, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Philippine Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Civil Aviation Authorities of the Philippines (CAAP), and Armed Forces Philippines (AFP). We are also grateful to the U.S. Embassy in Manila Economics and Science Department for shepherding the mission over many years of preparation. The CAMP2Ex deployment was an enormous logistical undertaking, and all team members are most appreciative to the Earth Science Project Office. Likewise, the complex task of integrating, deploying, and flying the P-3 fell upon Wallops Flight Facility with additional operations and instrumentation support from NASA{\textquoteright}s Airborne Science Program and National Suborbital Research Center. CAMP2Ex{\textquoteright}s large and impactful NASA outreach effort was led by Bay Area Environmental, the Manila Observatory, and the U.S. Embassy. Major funding for CAMP2Ex was provided by the NASA Radiation Sciences Program, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory Base Program, and numerous sponsors to the Manila Observatory. Cooperative funding with PISTON was provided by the Office of Naval Research. Finally, each CAMP2Ex PI was supported by their own team, including early career scientists and students.
