Call received by Jon Ward a t 9:30am on Thursday, March 1, 2012.
Question:I've read that a NASAmission in Southern Ontario ended yesterday, where they had aircraft taking measurements ofsnow. It also mentioned that NRC was involved using one of its Convair aircraf t to assist with these measurements. I'mlooking for someone to speak to this quickly - I already have most of my story, I'd just like to ge t a feel for NRC's
involvement in the project.
Answer: On Friday February 24, th e National Research Council of Canada (NRC) Flight Research Laboratory com pi
work fo r NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement Cold-Season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx) snowover Ontario.
To support this NASAstudy, NRC Integrated more than 20 scientific instruments {see attached picture) oaircraft, in collaboration with NASAand Environment Canada. Scientists from Environment Canada andgraduate students from McGill participated in all of th e flights.
NRC conducted seven flights with its Convair-580 research airplane. Four of th e flights were coordinatecthe NASADC-8, flying over the Environment Canada CARE facility and over Lake Ontario.
In addition to partnering with NASA, NRC partnered with MIT lincoln Lab, Federal Aviation Administratioand National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in sampling winter clouds over la k
NRC has been conducting airborne atmospheric research projects fo r more than 20 years in collaboratioruniversities, government, and other scientific organizations.

If Tom Spears writes fo r laymen, his readers might want to know why this type of study is important. It has somethingto do with space-borne radar systems.
Here are the bullets that cover the reason fo r this research:
NRC was to collect and analyze unique ground and airborne in-situ and radar datasets that will be used tocharacterize th e radar signatures of glaciated and mixed-phase clouds.
The outcome of this research will be directly relevant to science and technology issues of future space-borneradar systems that will be focused on characterizations of mid- and high-latitude cloud and precipitationsystems.

It's a great way to get additional lines of coverage, and to lessen the chance that the reporter will misinterpret (orrandomly expand upon) the "lines" that we provide him. The story then becomes more about us (and our Canadianpartners), rather than NASA.
Tom Spears is a pretty good reporter and we've been treated ok by him in the past.

Jon,
I have obtained Stewart Baillie's approval to release the following info and photo to the journalist. Kathy says she wouldlike to review these lines before you release them.
Canada's National Research Council (NRC) has been conducting airborne atmospheric research projects for more than 20years in collaboration with universities, government, and other scientific organizations. On Friday March 24, the NRC
Flight Research Laboratory completed its work for NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement Cold-Season PrecipitationExperiment {GCPEx) snow study over Ontario, Canada. NRC work in this project was funded by the Canadian SpacAgency.
Three aircraft {NASA'sDC-8, University of North Dakota's Citation and the NRC's Convair-580) were coordinated imissions to sample winter clouds over Environment Canada's Centre for Atmospheric Research Experiment (CARElocated at Egbert, Ontario.
To support this NASAstudy, NRC integrated more than 20 scientific instruments {see attached picture) on the aircraft, in collaboration wit!
and Environment Canada. Scientists from Environment Canada and graduate students from McGill partiein all of the flights.
conducted seven flights with its Convair-580 research airplane. Four of the flights were coordinated withNASA DC-8,flying over the Environment Canada CARE facility and over lake Ontario.
In addition to partnering with NASA,NRC partnered with MIT lincoln Lab, Federal Aviation Administratio'and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)in sampling winter clouds over Lak
Background The mission of the NRC Convair-580 research aircraft was to collect and analyze unique ground and airbo
situ and radar datasets that will be used to characterize multi-frequency (C, W, X, Ku, Ka) and multi-parar{Doppler, and Polarimetric) radar signatures of glaciated and mixed-phase clouds.

The outcome of this research will be directly relevant to science and technology issues of future space-borneradar systems that will be focused on characterizations of mid- and high-lat itude cloud and precipi tationsystems.
The Canadian consortium of the GCPEx research includes NRC, Environment Canada, McGill University and theUniversity of Manitoba.

With regards to the article, as the reporter had mentioned when he approached us, he had completed most of his storyand wanted to confirm NRC's involvement in the project. That's what we did.
As fo r the U61 visit and tour of your facilities/planes, that's a great idea which we had discussed previously as part ofIAR60th celebration, but which would nowbe done separately. We'd do this tour with a variety of reporters frombroadcast and print media and offer spokespeople. A good time for this would be next summer.
