Map of TOGA COARE regions. Locations of Honiara, Guadacanal, Solomon Islands and Townsville, Australia are indicated. The rectangle from 10 deg S to 10 deg N and 140 deg E to 180 deg E is the Large Scale Array (LSA) where TOGA COARE observations were concentrated. The pie-shaped region anchored at Honiara and the triangular area extending across the Solomon Sea toward Townsville mark the aircraft operations area (blue lines). The red quadrilateral centered near 2 deg S, 156 deg E is the Intensive Flux Array (IFA).
