  1. Total surface flux (+up) from models CORE, Large and Yeager 2004

  2. NOAA ship observations • October 2001, 2003-2007 (6 years) 20˚S, 75-85˚WFall 2001, 2003, 2004, 95˚ and 110˚W, ±10˚N • Assess fluxes from ground • Investigate processes: • Surface meteorology • Turbulent and radiative fluxes • Cloud vertical structure: top, base, and LCL. • Rawinsondes • Column water vapor and liquid water path • Aerosols
