The Campaign
The Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) was a NASA campaign that focused on small-scale ocean eddies and fronts. S-MODE consisted of three deployments off the coast of San Francisco during the boreal fall of 2021-2022 and the boreal spring of 2023. Airborne measurements were taken with different remote instruments including the Doppler Scatterometry (DopplerScatt), Multiscale Observing System of the Ocean Surface (MOSES), Modular Aerial Sensing System (MASS), and Portable Remote Imaging SpectroMeter (PRISM). In-situ measurements were obtained through research vessels, gliders, drifters, and other water-based platforms. S-MODE is one of NASA's EVS-3 projects.
