Description

Full mission name: Aerosol, Cloud, Precipitation, and Radiation Interactions and Dynamics of Convective Cloud Systems

Description:

To obtain a better understanding of the interaction of aerosols, clouds and radiation in convective clouds, simultaneous measurements of all aspects is desirable. To this end, the ACRIDICON-CHUVA campaign is being conducted with the German research aircraft HALO. During the same period, the CHUVA project obtains a multitude of ground-based measurements. In addition, the ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) Gulfstream-1 (G-1) is also deployed to the Amazon to also obtain measurements of cloud, trace gas, and aerosol properties. In this manner, a multidimensional picture of the relevant processes and parameters can be obtain that allows for a more thorough study of the observed phenomena and more critical validation of the present state-of-art meteorological models.

Data Protocol

• ACRIDICONCHUVADataPolicy.pdf
  The ACRIDICON-CHUVA project consists of individual sub-projects with different principal investigators, funding sources, and data guidelines.

  The data should become publicly available. Before public release, interested individuals can contact the principal investigators in charge of relevant data sets to determine if a collaboration is of mutual interest within the frame of ACRIDICON-CHUVA.

  Use of the data implies the acceptance of ACRIDICON-CHUVA data policy.

  The following is the ACRIDICON-CHUVA data policy that is also described in the above Data Protocol document:

  ACRIDICON-CHUVA Data Protocol and Publication

  Fundamental Principle:

  All Acridicon-Chuva participants have access to all data in a timely manner and appropriate credit is given to the researchers in order to maximize the cooperation and synergism within the ACRIDICON-CHUVA project.

  Important rules agreed:

  All ACRIDICON-CHUVA researchers must follow the laws concerning export of all data gathered by foreign researchers of the various Amazonian countries, notably Brazil.

  Data generated by ACRIDICON-CHUVA should become public domain and will be permanently archived in Brazil and in the Halo data archive in Germany.

  All ACRIDICON-CHUVA data should be available to all ACRIDICON-CHUVA researchers. Data should be analyzed cooperatively by all scientists involved in obtaining them. Especially cooperation across disciplines and among Latin American, European and North American researchers should be encouraged.

  Publications resulting from work under the ACRIDICON-CHUVA Project should be co-authored by all scientists who have participated substantially in the work, unless some participants choose not to be on the authors list. The same applies to presentations at meetings.

  Users of unpublished data should contact the data providers well in advance of producing and submitting a manuscript, in order to inform the providers of intended use Special effort by each non-Latin American researcher should be put into integration of Latin American researchers in their work and in the publication of the results.

  There will be no periods of exclusive rights to publish ACRIDICON-CHUVA results. Exceptions are possible for students where graduation requirements prohibit publication of results prior to acceptance of a thesis.

  Where data are used for modeling or integrating studies, the scientist collecting the data will be credited appropriately, either by co-authorship or by citation.

  The data collectors should be informed of publication plans well in advance of submission of a paper, given an opportunity to read the manuscript, and be offered co-authorship. In cases where data from other investigators are a minor contribution to a paper, the data should be referenced by a citation.

  Individual investigators may make their own data more widely available at any time.

  Each ACRIDICON-CHUVA sub-activity (e.g. HALO measurements) is responsible for establishing a time schedule for data exchange within their partners and data delivery to ACRIDICON-CHUVA Data Information System (DIS).

  The time limit for final data delivery to the DIS system will be no more than one year.
