Cooperative Agreement: Armored T-28 Aircraft Facility for Research Requiring Thunderstrorm Penetrations

该合同规定，装甲部队将继续作战， 作为国家设施的T-28气象研究飞机系统 用于研究云、雷暴和冰雹过程。 该项目将根据合作协议 供资用于管理、人员配备、升级、测试， T-28设施的运行和维护。 飞机 将提供给NSF科学界， 成熟风暴的穿透，以支持计划中的研究 比如说，Storm或Storm。 飞机将升级 与电场测量设备，这将提高 设施的科学能力。 一个博士后 添加到工作人员。 这将加强教育方面 同时也有助于改善观测- 在研究机构开展研究活动。

This award provides for continued operation of the armored T-28 meteorologic research aircraft system as a nation facility for research into cloud, thunderstorm, and hailstorm processes. The cooperative agreement under which this project would be funded provides for the management, staffing, upgrading, testing, operation, and maintenance of the T-28 facility. The aircraft will be available to the NSF scientific community for penetrations of mature storms in support of planned research projects such as CaPE or STORM. The aircraft will be upgraded with electric field measuring devices which will enhance the scientific capabilities of the facility. A post-doc has been added to the staff. This will strength the educational aspects of this facility as well as help to improve observational- oriented research activities at the facility.//
