The Maritime to Inland Transitions Towards ENvironments for Convection Initiation (MITTEN-CI) Field Campaign
The evolution of the marine atmospheric boundary layer as it advects inland during the warm season plays a critical role in the initiation–or suppression–of convection in the Great Lakes coastal environment. Gaining a deeper understanding of these transitions and their effects on convection is of significant importance, particularly given the large population in many coastal areas. To address this, the National Science Foundation-funded Maritime to Inland Transitions Towards ENvironments for Convection Initiation (MITTEN-CI) campaign was conducted in July 2024, with the goal of developing an extensive dataset that could effectively characterize these transitions.
