Summary
The Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) is a series of field
research investigations sponsored by the Earth Science Enterprise of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The fourth
field campaign in the CAMEX series (CAMEX-4) ran from 16 August to 24
September, 2001 and was based out ... of Jacksonville Naval Air Station,
Florida. CAMEX-4 focused on the study of tropical cyclone (hurricane)
development, tracking, intensification, and landfalling impacts using
NASA-funded aircraft and surface remote sensing instrumentation.

The High Altitude monolithic microwave integrated Circuit (MMIC)
Sounding Radiometer (HAMSR) is a microwave atmospheric sounder
recently developed by JPL under the NASA Instrument Incubator
Probram. Operating with 25 spectral channels in the 50-190 HGz region,
it provides measurements that can be used to infer the 3-D
distribution of temperature, water vapor, and liquid water in the
atmosphere, even in the presence of clouds. HAMSR was mounted in a
wing pod of a NASA ER-2 research aircraft.
