The Campaign
The Pacific Rim 2000 (PacRim II) campaign focused on gathering geographic and atmospheric data for coastal analysis, oceanography, forestry, geology, hydrology, and archaeology. It had one deployment over the South Pacific Region and United States during the boreal fall/austral spring of 2000. During the campaign the DC-8 aircraft took observations using the Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (AIRSAR) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)/Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Airborne Simulator (MASTER) instrument. The campaign was funded by NASA’s Mission to Planet Earth (MTPE) program.
