Flight-level measurements to capture regional scale variations.

The campaign was designed to solve long-standing puzzles in meteorology, specifically how the atmosphere's boundary layer responds to (patchiness) in surface heat and water exchanges. In simpler terms, it studied how different types of terrain (forests, lakes, wetlands) in Wisconsin affect the energy and water balance in the air above them. Key Components of the "Detailed Paper" Cheesehead.tar

Testing whether high-density observations can reduce the "energy balance closure" problem, where measured energy entering the system doesn't match energy leaving it. Accessing the Data and Papers and heat flux.
