The Campaign
The Pacific Rim 2000 (PacRim II) was a NASA field investigation that collected geographic and atmospheric observations to support coastal analysis, oceanography, forestry, geology, hydrology, and archaeology. It included one deployment from July to October 2010 across the Pacific Rim, covering Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Polynesia, Japan, and islands in the South and Western Pacific Ocean. The NASA DC-8 aircraft was equipped with the MODIS/ASTER Airborne Simulator (MASTER) and the Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (AIRSAR) to collect vegetation and topographic data. PacRim II was funded by NASA’s Mission to Planet Earth (MTPE) program.
