Definition
- The Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) is a series of field research investigations sponsored by the Earth Science Enterprise (ESE) program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The overall goal of CAMEX is to study atmospheric water vapor and precipitation processes using a unique array of aircraft, balloon, and land-based remote sensors. The first two CAMEX field studies were conducted at Wallops Island, Virginia, during 1993 and 1995. The third in the series of CAMEX field studies (CAMEX-3) was conducted in August and September 1998, covering the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic Ocean. CAMEX-3 successfully studied Hurricanes Bonnie, Danielle, Earl and Georges and collected data for research in tropical cyclone development, tracking, intensification, and landfalling impacts using NASA-funded aircraft and surface remote sensing instrumentation.
