The Campaign

The Development and Evaluation of satellite ValidatiOn Tools by Experimenters (DEVOTE) was a NASA field investigation that examined aerosols and clouds for satellite validation and the enhancement of satellite retrieval algorithms. DEVOTE included one deployment during the fall of 2011 across the eastern and southeastern United States. NASA UC-12 and B-200 aircraft were equipped with remote sensing and in situ sensors to collect observations of aerosol microphysical and optical properties. Flights were synchronized with CALIPSO satellite overpasses and took place over the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) ground sites for data validation. DEVOTE was partly funded through the Hands-On Project Experience (HOPE) initiative.
