Tropical Wind Energy Conversion and Reference Level Experiment
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010822
A meteorological experiment conducted in the mid-1970s to study atmospheric circulation and energy conversion processes in the tropical atmosphere. It involved deploying constant-level balloons equipped with sensors to track air parcel trajectories and measure atmospheric variables at a constant pressure level. Data from TWERLE contributed to understanding the dynamics of tropical winds and their role in global atmospheric energy budgets.
