Nauru99 Campaign

16 June 1999 - 15 July 1999

Lead Scientist: Chris Fairall

Observatory: twp, twp

Nauru99 was an international research collaboration conducted on and around the island of Nauru in the Tropical Western Pacific during the summer of 1999 from June 16 through July 15, 1999. The NOAA R/V Ronald H. Brown and the JAMSTEC R/V Mirai measured surface and radiation fluxes at sea, for comparison with the land-based ARCS systems and the TAO buoy array.
