This experiment will focus on a better understanding of physical and chemical processes central to the climate system of the Southeast Pacific (SEP). VOCALS will target interactions between clouds, aerosols, marine boundary layer processes, upper ocean dynamics and thermodynamics, coastal current and upwelling, large-scale subsidence and regional diurnal circulations. The field experiment is driven by the need for improved model simulations of the coupled climate system in both the SEP and over the wider tropics and subtropics. The lead PI is Rob Wood from the University of Washington.

The project, which will involve the NSF/NCAR C-130, and GAUS will take place from 1 October through 15 November 2008 along the coast of Northern Chile and Peru.
