CAIPEEX Phase II (2010)
During the Phase II of CAIPEEX (during 2010-2011), airborne observations were conducted with Hyderabad as the base station and generally continental clouds were observed.
Phase II 2011
CAIPEEX 2011 also included an Integrated Ground Observational Campaign (IGOC), which has made ground to cloud layer observations possible, addressing the thermodynamical and microphysical aspects of convection over the lee side of Western Ghat.

Aircraft used in Phase II - First Year
CAIPEEX II utilized two aircraft during flight operations. The research aircraft was the South African Weather Services, Aerocommander 690A. A Thrush turboprop aircraft was utilized for seeding clouds during the project.
Aerocommander 690A
The Aerocommander 690A is a twin Turbo propeller aircraft. The aircraft was modified to accommodate atmospheric research instrumentation for aerosol and cloud measurements.
