The Campaign

The WINter EXperiment (WINTEX) was a NASA field campaign to gather measurements of cloud properties over snow and ice for satellite validation. WINTEX involved one deployment during the boreal spring of 1999, based out of Madison, Wisconsin. The NASA ER-2 aircraft was equipped with multiple remote sensors, such as the MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS), Scanning High Resolution Interferometer Sounder (S-HIS), NPOESS Aircraft Sounder Testbed - Interferometer (NAST-I), and NPOESS Aircraft Sounder Testbed - Microwave Radiometer (NAST-M), to collect cloud property measurements across the northern Midwest and Canada. Ground-based observations were also taken using lidars, interferometers, and radiosondes. WINTEX was conducted in support of the National Polar-orbiting Operational Satellite System (NPOESS) mission.
