Roger Marchand, a MARCUS co-investigator from the University of Washington, is Mace’s co-principal investigator for CAPE-k.

From 2016 to 2018, Marchand led ARM’s land-based Macquarie Island Cloud and Radiation Experiment (MICRE). It was designed to improve how global climate models represent Southern Ocean cloud, aerosol, and surface radiative properties.

“In the long run, the data collected at CAPE-k will be combined with that collected during MICRE and shorter ship- and aircraft-based experiments, as well as satellite data sets,” says Marchand. “Together, such data will create an increasingly holistic understanding of Southern Ocean clouds and cloud-aerosol interactions.”
