Flight Mission Details

By Dr. Philip Russell

This was the second of two flights flown on 10 Mar. Preflight goals focused on getting AOD & water vapor profiles and transects, SSFR fluxes, CAR circles, and RSP legs over the Gulf in the MODIS-Aqua glint-free swath of the Aura/A-train swath.

CAR: Worked great A to Z.
