TCSP

The Tropical Cloud Systems and Processes (TCSP) mission is an Earth science field research investigation sponsored by the Science Mission Directorate of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

TCSP research addresses the following topical areas:

• tropical cyclone structure, genesis, intensity change, moisture fields and rainfall;
• satellite and aircraft remote sensor data assimilation and validation studies pertaining to development of tropical cyclones; and
• the role of upper tropospheric/lower stratospheric processes governing tropical cyclone outflow, the response of wave disturbances to deep convection and the evolution of the upper level warm core.
