The CIRPAS Pelican
is a highly instrumented rear-propellor aircraft designed to measure atmospheric
turbulence, mean variables, and remotely sensed measurements of sea-surface
characteristics. The Pelican is mapping out variability in the momentum,
heat, moisture, and radiative fluxes as well as boundary layer structure
in support of the CBLAST investigations. Click on the following links
