The Campaign
The Observing-System Research and Predictability Experiment (THORPEX) Observing System Test (TOST) was a field study aimed at improving short- and long-range forecast products. TOST included two deployments in 2003: PTOST (Pacific) and ATOST (Atlantic). PTOST took place from February to March 2003 over the Pacific Ocean and the Hawaiian Islands. ATOST occurred from November to December 2003 over the Eastern United States and the Atlantic Ocean. The NASA ER-2 was equipped with multiple instruments, including the MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS), to collect measurements of meteorological parameters and cloud properties. TOST was part of the THORPEX program.
