MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS)

CAMPAIGN SUMMARY INFORMATION

Cloud And Land Surface Interaction Campaign Dates: 31 May - 30 June 2007 Location: Southern Great Plains Measurement Site, OK Principal Investigators: Dr. Greg McFarquhar (UI) Additional Sensors: CPL & CRS Objective: This cross-disciplinary interagency research effort studies cumulus convection as an important component in the atmospheric radiation budget and hydrologic cycle of the SGP, particularly during the summer growing season.
Processing Information Flights Processed: 12   [ 3 (MAS)   /   7 (MAS Hybrid)   /   2 (MASTER) ] Total Flight Tracks: 134   [ 23 (MAS)   /   83 (MAS Hybrid)   /   28 (MASTER) ] Total Scanlines: 820513   [ 31845 (MAS)   /   518986 (MAS Hybrid)   /   169682 (MASTER) ] Level-1B Version: 4.0 (MAS & MAS Hybrid)   /   3.0 (MASTER) Calibration Type: Final Calibration Version: 3.0 (MAS)   /   3.5 (MAS Hybrid)   /   2.0 (MASTER) Temperature Adjustment: None Status: Level-1B data is available in HDF format Processing Notes (MAS v4 and MASTER v3) The CalibrationSlope and CalibratedData scientific data sets (SDS) for visible and shortwave infrared bands (Chs 1-25) have been adjusted by scale factors supplied by Goddard Space Flight Center. The modified amounts are referenced in a new SDS entitled CalibrationSlopeAdjustmentFactor. These adjustments were based on direct comparisons with MODIS and are supported by results from vicarious ground based radiometric measurements.
