Abstract:
The Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) is a series of field
research investigations sponsored by the Earth Science Enterprise of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The fourth
field campaign in the CAMEX series (CAMEX-4) ran from 16 August to 25
September, 2001 and was based out of Jacksonville Naval Air Station,
... Florida. CAMEX-4 focused on the study of tropical cyclone (hurricane)
development, tracking, intensification, and landfalling impacts using
NASA-funded aircraft and surface remote sensing instrumentation.
The MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS) is an airborne scanning
spectrometer that acquires high spatial resolution imagery of cloud
and surface features from its vantage point on-board a NASA ER-2
high-altitude research aircraft. This dataset has visible and
infrared imagery calibrated to at-sensor radiance. Included are many
associated browse files including the flight line tracks, and also
text files of nadir brightness temperature and radiance for selected
bands.
