Project Management Structure

The project will be managed by a Scientific Working Group (SWG) under the overall EPIC program, which in turn is a part of the U. S. CLIVAR program. The U. S. EPIC 2001 SWG members are:

• David Raymond (Chair; New Mexico Tech)
• Meghan Cronin (NOAA/PMEL)
• Christopher Fairall (NOAA/ETL)
• Michael Gregg (University of Washington)
• Chris Bretherton (CLIVAR Pacific Panel)
• Steve Esbensen (CLIVAR PACS Panel; EPIC SSC; VAMOS Panel)
• Robert Weller (CLIVAR Pacific Panel; EPIC SSC; VAMOS Panel)
• Gus Emmanuel (UCAR-JOSS; ex officio, non-voting)

This project will be coordinated with the Pan American VAMOS EPIC program where appropriate. The UCAR Joint Office of Scientific Support (JOSS) will work with the SWG to handle the logistics of aircraft and aerosonde deployment during the field phase of the program. JOSS will also work with the SWG to coordinate non-US contributions to the program. NOAA deals directly with the logistics of NOAA ship deployment.
