The
Vasco-Cirene field experiment focuses on the role of air-sea
interactions in the trigering and the evolution of intraseasonal
perturbations of the deep convection related to Madden-Julian
Oscillations. The experiment will be performed over the Indian Ocean in
January and February 2007.
The VASCO component (PI: J.P. Duvel) is an observing campaign using pressurized and aeroclipper balloons deployed from the Seychelles.
The CIRENE component (PI: J. Vialard) is based on an oceanographic campaign synchronised with VASCO, and will collect ocean, atmosphere and surface fluxes measurements.
