The Campaign
The Observing-System Research and Predictability Experiment (THORPEX) Observing System Test (TOST) was a field investigation that aimed to help improve short and long-range forecast products. TOST consisted of two deployments during 2003: PTOST (Pacific) and ATOST (Atlantic). PTOST occurred from February to March 2003 across the Pacific Ocean and the Hawaiian Islands. ATOST occurred from November to December 2003 across the Eastern United States and the Atlantic Ocean. NASA ER-2 was equipped with several instruments including the MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS) to collect measurements of meteorological parameters and cloud properties. TOST was a part of the THORPEX program.
