Flight: 01-050
Date: 16 March 2001
Location: Texas / Gulf of Mexico
Deployment: TX-2001
Principal Investigators: Moeller (UWisc)
Additional Sensors: S-HIS, VIS, Dual 12" RC-10 (BW, CIR)
Objective: Checkout S-HIS and MAS instrument performance, including noise estimates
Data Evaluation
Overall quality is good
This was a rather bumpy flight, some turbulence is evident in the video data.
Port 3 (bands 26-41; 3.04-5.44µm) is very noisy and performed much more poorly than the last flight.
The MAS timecode generator was accidently turned off prior to flight; time code from the RS232 NAV data was used for Level-1B processing.
Processing Information
Level-1B Data in HDF format is available
