Experiment CAPEX

CAPEX is a European project to investigate aerosol particles, radiation, cloud properties, precipitation and radioactivity over Portugal using the capabilities of the aircraft BAe-146 provided and operated by the British Metoffice and the capabilities of the ground based remote sensing at the Atmospheric Physics Observatory of Évora Geophysics Centre, at Évora and Cabo da Roca sites. It will take place in May/June 2006 over central and south Portugal and consists of three individual projects:
