Chesapeake Lighthouse and Aircraft Measurements for Satellites "CLAMS" July 12-Aug 2, 2001
CLAMS Overview
Field campaign sponsored by CERES, MISR, MODIS-Atmospheres and the NASA/GEWEX Global Aerosol Climatology Project (GACP).
Chesapeake Lighthouse sea platform 20 km east of Virginia Beach, at which NASA and NOAA make continuous, long-term measurements of radiation, meteorology, and ocean waves.
Common set of objectives tied to the validation of EOS data products.
A first CLAMS campaign, currently being planned for July 2001 to validate Terra data products, is a shortwave closure experiment
A second and similar campaign is being considered for 2002 for Aqua data product validation with additional focus in the longwave and on atmospheric water vapor.
