ARM Radiosondes for NPOESS/NPP Validation - TWP

9 July 2012 - 31 December 2014

Lead Scientist: David Tobin

Observatory: TWP

This was a satellite validation project involving the use of satellite overpass coincident radiosonde launches. This was analogous to previous IOPs performed for AIRS on the NASA Aqua platform and IASI on the METOP-A platform. This IOP project implored those same data collection concepts and analysis techniques for the validation of CrIMSS and VIIRS products from the upcoming NPP and NPOESS satellite platforms.
