Diagram of ideal conditions for the MC3E campaign.
The MC3E ideal scenario will capture the life cycle of a storm system.

Centered at the SGP Central Facility, research aircraft will fly above and within the clouds while radar systems scan through the storm from multiple locations. At the same time, additional ground-based instruments will measure surface precipitation and wind speed.
