Additional Information
The objective of this flight was to measure the properties of smoke and its effect on clouds; to measure smoke and cloud properties with sunphotometers; and calibrate AVIRIS over a site east of Cuiaba.

Pilot reported increasingly hazy conditions over the calibration site and sunphotometers. From Cuiaba, through Rondonia, and back through Alta Floresta, the pilot did not see the ground. Stratus and cumulus clouds were reported in the northeast portion and cumulus including some thunderstorms in the rest. Most clouds capped at 12,000 feet, however some thunderstorms penetrated to 20,000 feet.

Problems:

  • Slice 2 / Line 3: A large area of data missing for the 11 and 12 uM bands.
  • Slice 2 / Line 4: A large area of data missing for the 3.7, 3.9, 11 and 12 uM bands.
  • Slice 2 / Line 5: Large areas of data missing in the 11 uM band.
