The aim, to collect observational evidence of the role of aerosol and cloud ice formation in deep convective cloud development. There for a month, the team would bring together measurements from aircraft, radar, cameras and ground stations.

It has carried out Aerosol measurements of particles suspended in the air with size ranges between 0.35 and 10 micrometres (such as dust, sea salt etc).
