MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS)

CAMPAIGN SUMMARY INFORMATION

Tropical Composition, Cloud and Climate Coupling (TC4) Dates: 17 July - 08 August 2007 Location: Eastern Pacific Ocean Principal Investigators: Dr. Michael King (NASA GSFC) Additional Sensors: AMPR, BBIR, CoSSIR, CPL, CRS, EDOP, MTP, MVIS, S-HIS, & SSFR Objective: This mission investigates the structure, properties and processes in the Eastern Pacific Tropics. High altitude aircraft collected tropopause data while medium altitude aircraft provided profiles and structure measurements of the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.
Processing Information Flights Processed: 13   [ 6 (MAS Hybrid)   /   7 (MASTER) ] Total Flight Tracks: 198   [ 85 (MAS Hybrid)   /   113 (MASTER) ] Total Scanlines: 1151804   [ 490800 (MAS Hybrid)   /   661004 (MASTER) ] Level-1B Version: 4.0 Calibration Type: Final Calibration Version: 2.0 Temperature Adjustment: None Status: Level-1B data is available in HDF format Processing Notes (v4) 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.
