Current
ASP 09	June 09	JeffCo airport, NCAR		4 flights/2 days in support of ASP Summer Colloquium. Projects led by advanced graduate students, utilizing multiple NSF observing facilities, including UWKA
WWDC 09	February 09 - April 09	Laramie, WY	Bart Geerts	continuation of WWDC 08 To be conducted in parallel with WAICO; to investigate the effects of AgI seeding of supercooled clouds in the Medicine Bow mountains.
WAICO 09	February 09 - April 09	Laramie, WY	Zhien Wang	continuation of WWDC 08 Test and demonstrate the capability of new remote sensing tools for the UWKA. This project centers around the upward Wyoming Cloud Lidar (WCL-I), a new (downward-pointing) cloud lidar (WCL-II), and the Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR).
2008
CLDGPS 08	May 08 - June 08	Laramie, WY	Tom Parish Dave Leon	Use measures of basic state variables combined with Differential GPS to investigate pressure perturbations around actively growing cumulus clouds. The perturbations will be tied to the cloud kinematics through measurements from in situ probes and airborne Doppler radar (WCR).
WWDC 08	February 08 - March 08	Laramie, WY	Bart Geerts	To be conducted in parallel with WAICO; to investigate the effects of AgI seeding of supercooled clouds in the Medicine Bow mountains.
WAICO 08	February 08 - March 08	Laramie, WY	Zhien Wang	Test and demonstrate the capability of new remote sensing tools for the UWKA. This project centers around the new Wyoming Cloud Lidar (WCL), a new microwave radiometer built by Prosensing, and the Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR).
2007
ACME 07	April 07 - August 07	Laramie, WY	David Schimel Britton Stevens Teresa Campos	Measurments of Carbon and other trace gas budgets in the Central Rocky Mountain region.
2006
COWVEX 06	October 06 - January 07	Laramie, WY	Dave Leon	Use of the WCR for validation of CloudSAT.
CuPIDO 06	July 06 - August 06	Tucson, AZ	Bart Geerts Rick Damiani	Investigation of Cumulus dynamics and forcing in southern Arizona.
DMIMS 06	May 06 - June 06	Arcata, CA	Dave Leon Jeff Snider Bart Geerts Tom Parish	Ivestigation of marine stratus and sc off the coast of California.

GOA 04	September 04 - October 04	Juneau, AK	Nick Bond Brian Colle George Young Nathaniel Winstead	Investigation of turbulence in the Juneau channel.
GPS 04	June 04	Laramie, WY	Tom Parish Matt Burkhart	Use of differential corrections to test effectiveness of GPS measurments on N2UW.
COBRA 04	May 04 - August 04	Bangor, ME	Steven Wofsy	Determination of large scale carbon budgets in North East of North America.
CIFEX 04	April 04	Arcata, CA
GLICAF 04	February 04 - March 04	Toledo, OH	Neil Laird David Kristovich	Measurement of fluxes over the Great Lakes in concert with Lake-effect Snow events.
