Mission Reports IMPACTS

The Mission Reports IMPACTS dataset consists of flight plans, plans of the day, science plans, and science summaries logged by scientists during the Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) field campaign. IMPACTS was a three-year sequence of winter season deployments conducted to study snowstorms over the U.S. Atlantic Coast (2020-2023). The campaign aimed to (1) Provide observations critical to understanding the mechanisms of snowband formation, organization, and evolution; (2) Examine how the microphysical characteristics and likely growth mechanisms of snow particles vary across snowbands; and (3) Improve snowfall remote sensing interpretation and modeling to advance prediction capabilities significantly. The mission reports are available from January 8, 2020, through March 1, 2023, in PDF format. It should be noted that this dataset will be updated in subsequent years of the IMPACTS campaign.

《使命报告 IMPACTS 数据集》由科学家在调查大西洋沿岸威胁性暴风雪微物理和降水（IMPACTS）现场战役期间记录的飞行计划、每日计划、科学计划以及科学总结组成。IMPACTS 是一项为期三年的冬季部署序列，旨在研究美国大西洋沿岸的暴风雪（2020-2023）。该战役旨在：（1）提供对理解雪带形成、组织和演化的机制至关重要的观测；（2）考察雪粒的微物理特性和可能的增长机制在雪带中的变化；（3）改进降雪遥感解释和建模，以显著提升预测能力。使命报告自2020年1月8日起至2023年3月1日止，以PDF格式提供。值得注意的是，该数据集将在IMPACTS战役后续年份中得到更新。
