So, naturally, my labmates and I had to go look this up. It's a really awesome project that would be of interest to the members of this board!
Cloud Lab.
Here is a short blurb on the project. (see article)
“A team of scientists will be taking to the skies in the world’s largest airship – the Skyship 600 – for BBC Two’s ambitious atmospheric experiment – Cloud Lab. Flying from coast to coast, across the USA, in a month-long expedition, the team of British scientists will scrutinize insect life, the relationship between trees and the air we breathe as well as predicting where a hurricane is likely to hit the land.
The team, which includes entomologists, weather specialists and professional explorers is also hoping to shed light on the creation of clouds and the relationship between diverse ecosystems and weather.
Several US agencies will be cooperating with this project. Among them are NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Agency), JPL (NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and USGS (United States Geological Survey)…”
Here is a link for an ongoing journal of one of the members of Cloud Lab.
Moderators, please move this to a new location if it is not in the appropriate location. I just thought that since hurricane research is a part of the mission, that this would be ok.
