The Campaign

The Aura Validation Experiment (AVE) was a NASA field investigation to collect measurements validating Aura satellite observations. AVE was based in Houston, Texas, and involved two deployments in fall 2004 and summer 2005. NASA’s WB-57 aircraft was equipped with various in situ and remote sensors to measure atmospheric trace gases and aerosols. AVE was funded by NASA’s Radiation Sciences and Atmospheric Composition programs.
