An outline of work done at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution with
National Science Foundation support since 1963 on cumulus convection as
related to larger scale atmospheric motions is given.
In addition a preliminary analysis of the meso-scale wind field as derived
from aircraft Doppler wind observations taken during one day of the Stormfury
1965 operation is described. Such facts as scale and magnitude of mesoscale
divergence and vertical velocity in the trades are inferred.

The data reduction procedures used on the observations obtained from
the ESSA Research Flight Facility aircraft during the Stormfury 1965
operation is described. The results to be obtained eventually are cloud
liquid water content, volume median drop size, turbulent vertical
velocity, and buoyancy fluctuations in cloud passes made by the aircraft.
