The Campaign
The Wisconsin Snow and Cloud Terra 2000 (WISC-T2000) Experiment was a NASA campaign aimed at validating satellite data from the MODIS instrument on Terra. WISC-T2000 involved one deployment based in Madison, Wisconsin, from February to March 2000. The NASA ER-2 aircraft was equipped with remote sensing instruments such as the MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS), Air Multi-angle Imaging Spectrometer (AirMISR), and Cloud Lidar System (CLS) to gather data on cloud and snow properties and atmospheric conditions in the Upper Midwest for Terra validation. The ER-2 also flew over the Department of Energy (DoE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurements (ARM) User Facility in Oklahoma, where ground truth measurements were collected. WISC-T2000 was one of the initial validation campaigns for the Terra satellite.
