Joint Airborne IASI Validation Experiment

The Campaign

The Joint Airborne IASI Validation Experiment (JAIVEx) was an international Cal/Val campaign in support of the NPOESS and MetOp series of operational satellites. The campaign had one major deployment in the boreal spring of 2007 to validate radiance observations and meteorological products from instruments as well as the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) onboard satellite the MetOp-A. There were also extra validation measurements for the Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS) aboard the AQUA satellite. The cross-validation of satellite data from ISAI and AIRS with measurements from aircraft instruments and ground-based lidar aimed to ensure consistency for weather and forecasting predictions.
