The Campaign
The Coastal and Ocean Airborne Science Testbed (COAST) Project was a NASA project that focused on using remote sensing strategies to glean a better look at the optically complex coastal zone. COAST had 1 deployment, which took place from October 21-28, 2011 in and around Monterey Bay, CA. The CIRPAS Twin Otter aircraft was outfitted with several remote sensing instruments including the Ames Airborne Tracking Sunphotometer (AATS-14) and the Headwall Imaging Spectrometer (HIS) while the R/V John Martin utilized instruments such as the Compact-Optical Profiling System (C-OPS) and the MicroTOPS sun photometer. COAST was funded by NASA’s Hands On Project Experience (HOPE) Training Opportunity Award under the direction of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and Office of Chief Engineer.
