The Campaign
The Joint Airborne IASI Validation Experiment (JAIVEx) was a multi-agency field investigation sponsored by NASA, the UK Met Office, NOAA, and other agencies. The main objective of JAIVEx was to collect radiance measurements to validate and calibrate satellite retrievals from NPOESS and MetOp. JAIVEx consisted of one deployment based out of Ellington Field in Houston, TX, during the boreal spring of 2017. NASA WB-57 aircraft was equipped with the NPOESS Aircraft Sounder Testbed-Interferometer (NAST-I), NPOESS Aircraft Sounder Testbed-Microwave (NAST-M), and Scanning High-resolution Interferometer Sounder (S-HIS) to collect radiance measurements for validation purposes. Ground-based observations were collected from the Department of Energy (DoE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program Cloud and Radiation Testbed (CART) research site in the southern Great Plains.
