Scientific Objective:
The purpose of the CASES site is to provide a long-term facility for
scientists to study the mesoscale processes of meteorology, hydrology,
climate, chemistry, ecology and their complex linkages, and to serve
as a focal point to provide field experience for students of the
natural sciences.
The CASES program in fall 1999 focused on exchanges in the soil/biosphere/atmospher interface, specifically those during statically stable, and therefore primarily nocturnal, atmospheric conditions.
