SAFARI-2000:  13 Sept. 2000

Flight Summary

S-HIS in scanning mode

• Terra Satellite Track
• Flight path overlayed on Meteosat Image (From NASA-LARC)
• Flight path overlayed on Meteosat Image (40 minutes centered on 0930 UTC)
• TOMS Absorbing Aerosols (From NASA-GSFC)
• TOMS Aerosols Index (From NASA-GSFC)
• CPL quicklook java applet
  Background subtracted range-normalized relative signal from NASA-GSFC Cloud Physics Lidar
  
  
• SHIS group daily summary Part I
• SHIS group daily summary Part II
  
  
• Data map of Etosha Pan region with 898.4 to 905.4 cm^-1 average BTs.
  Points on a line crossing a change in average BTs are marked with circles.
  Evidence of bad scan angles is visible.
• Seven LW brightness temperature spectra from the Etosha Pan
  LW spectra of the seven circles in the Etosha Pan LW data map.
• Data map of Etosha Pan region with 1590 to 1600 cm^-1 average BTs.
  Existence of bad scan angles is even more apparent in the midwave region.
  
  
• Data map of Terra overpass leg with 898.4 to 905.4 cm^-1 average BTs.
  
• Four LW brightness temperature spectra
  Spectra from four viewing angles at the time of the Terra overpass.
  There are some issues to be resolved regarding the synching of data time with navigational time. According to the pilot's notes, 09:23 was the time over the overpass, therefore spectra from that time are displayed.
