Air Mass Transformation Experiment

Japanese: 気団変質実験 - きだんへんしつじっけん
Air Mass Transformation Experiment

…The second objective is to thoroughly investigate the statistical properties of the global atmospheric circulation and to clarify the determining factors, and ultimately to better understand the physical basis of climate and climatic variability and change. The first objective has been achieved by carrying out many sub-projects, such as the Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) and the Global Weather Experiment (First GARP Global Experiment, FGGE), as well as the Monsoon Experiment (MONEX), West African Monsoon Experiment (WAMEX), Polar Experiment (POLEX), Air Mass Transformation Experiment (AMTEX), and Alpine Experiment (ALPEX). The main project, the Global Weather Experiment, is a research observation project aimed at exploring the possibility of medium-range forecasts (weather forecasts up to about 15 days), and the special observation period was from December 1, 1978 to November 30, 1979. …
