<br />The North Dakota Thunderstonn Project was conducted in the Bismarck, North Dakota, area from
<br />12 June through 22 July 1989. The project deployed Doppler radars, cloud physics aircraft, and
<br />supporting instrumentation to study a variety of aspects of convective clouds. These included transport
<br />and dispersion; entrainment; cloud-ice initiation and evolution; stonn structure, dynamics. and
<br />kinematics; atmospheric chemistry; and electrification.
<br />
<br />Of primary interest were tracer experiments that identified and tracked specific regions within evolving
<br />clouds as a means of investigating the transport, dispersion. and activation of ice-nucleating agents as
<br />well a~ studying basic transport and entrainment processes. Tracers included sulfur hexafluoride (SF6),
<br />carbon monoxide, ozone, radar chaff, and silver iodide.
<br />
<br />Doppler radars were used to perfonn studies of all scales of convection, from first-echo cases to a
<br />mesoscale convective system. An especially interesting dual-Doppler study of two splitting
<br />thunderstonns has resulted.
<br />
<br />The objectives of the various project experiments and the specific facilities employed are described.
<br />Project highlights and some preliminary results are also presented.
