CIRPAS Twin Otter Aircraft Support of the Physics of Stratocumulus Top (POST) Experiment

海军研究生院/跨学科遥控飞机研究中心（CIRPAS）的双水獭研究飞机将在2008年7月和8月支持国家科学基金会资助的“合作研究：层积云顶部物理（POST）”实地实验。仪器平台将研究云层中的夹带，这对这些云类型的物理和辐射特性很重要。机载设备是美国国家科学基金会为大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）提供的国家设备，它是这项研究最具成本效益和最合适的平台。

The Naval Postgraduate School/Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely-Piloted Aircraft Studies (CIRPAS) Twin Otter research aircraft will be instrumented to support the NSF funded "Collaborative Research: Physics of Stratocumulus Top (POST)" field experiment in July and August 2008. The instrumented platform will study entrainment in cloud stratus cloud layers, which is important to the physical and radiative properties of these cloud types. The airborne facility is a National Science Foundation national facility for the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), and it is the most cost effective and appropriate platform for this research.
