CAMP2Ex (Cloud, Aerosol and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment) is a partnership with NASA, NRL, the Manila Observatory, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), and various academic organizations. Researchers on the campaign seek to collect data to answer three key questions; – Do aerosol particles influence weather and precipitation in tropical environments?
– Do these influences feed back into the aerosol lifecycle?
– How do the aerosol and cloud influence the radiation energy of the region?

The more than 2-thousand people involved in CAMP2Ex are now collating the data they collected in 2019, and prepping for their 2020 mission.

UNITED STATES: The Latest Atmospheric River (aka Pineapple Express) to Bring Flooding, Landslides 

The U.S. Air Force hurricane hunters have been flying through the Pineapple Express (one of the famous ‘atmospheric rivers’ that brings warm humid air to North America during Winter): “There is no off season for us, after the Hurricane season is done we roll into the Winter Storm season and part of that is providing support for atmospheric rivers off the West Coast. ARs [atmospheric river] are flowing columns of water vapor that produce vast amounts of precipitation when they make landfall. The heavy amounts of precipitation can turn into extreme rainfall and snow, which then can cause flooding and mudslides.”-Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Rickert, 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron
