The Campaign
The CALIPSO-CloudSat Validation Experiment (CC-VEx) was an airborne campaign that was conducted to support the calibration and validation of two satellite missions: The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) and CloudSat. CC-VEx had one deployment, which took place from July 24 to August 14, 2006, and was primarily based out of Warner Robins, GA. NASA’s ER-2 and B-200 aircraft, along with Weather Modification Inc.’s LearJet, were deployed with remote sensing and in situ instrumentation to take observations of aerosol and cloud layers. CC-VEX was funded through NASA's Radiation Sciences Program.
