MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS)

CAMPAIGN SUMMARY INFORMATION

Studies of Emissions and Atmospheric Composition, Clouds and Climate Coupling by Regional Surveys (SEAC4RS) Dates: 1 August - 2 October 2013 Location: Houston, Texas eMAS Principal Investigator: Dr. Steven Platnick (NASA GSFC) Configuration: 38 Channel Additional Sensors: AIRMSPI, BBR, CO-ALIAS, CPL, H20v, JLH, MMS, MTP, O3, PCRS, RSP, SSFR, WAS Objective: Attention will be given to the influence of biomass burning and pollution, their temporal evolution, and ultimately impacts on meteorological processes which in turn feed back into regional air quality. With respect to meteorological feedbacks, the opportunity to examine the impact of polluting aerosols on cloud properties and ultimately dynamics will be of particular interest.
