The Campaign
Deriving Information on Surface Conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality (DISCOVER-AQ) was a NASA-led campaign that studied air quality using remote sensing techniques to improve air quality forecasts. DISCOVER-AQ had four deployments from 2011 to 2014 across different parts of the contiguous United States. Each deployment used various aircraft, including NASA’s P-3 and B-200, along with ground instrumentation to compare surface observations with column observations of aerosols and trace gases. Aircraft and ground instrument measurements were also supplemented with satellite and model observations to help enhance air quality estimates in regions with steep gradients. DISCOVER-AQ was one of NASA’s Earth Venture Suborbital-1 (EVS-1) projects.
