Global Atmospheric Research Programme Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) Records 1972-1979

By: Contributor(s): Language: English Description: 48.00 Linear FeetSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: Arrangement is by original order. This collection consists of 11 series in 50 boxes: Series 1: Research and Data, 1972-1978; Series 2: Administrative, 1974-1979; Series 3: Committees and Advisory Panels, 1971-1976; Series 4: Correspondence, 1974-1977; Series 5: Publications, 1973-1978; Series 6: Reports, 1974; Series 7: Student Participation, 1973-1974; Series 8: Workshops, 1976-1977; Series 9: Films, 1974; Series 10: Photographs and Slides, 1974; Series 11: Videotapes, 1974.Scope and content: The GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE) was a large and complex international scientific experiment designed to gain an increased understanding of the atmosphere and causes of climatic variation and change. GATE sought to learn how cloud clusters in the tropic transformed and redistributed energy within the atmosphere, knowledge that was needed for the development of numerical models for long-range weather prediction and for assessing the long-term effects of pollutants on the atmosphere. These materials focus primarily on NCAR's role in GATE, specifically aircraft flights and data management, but also include information about other aspects of the project. Materials include flight logs and debriefing forms, satellite imagery, correspondence, newsletters, workshop proceedings, mission reports, and photographs. Selections from the GATE Records have been digitized and are available in the NCAR Library's digital repository, OpenSky.
