United Arab Emirates - Unified Aerosol Experiment (UAE2) 2004
The United Arab Emirates-Unified Aerosol Experiment (UAE2) 2004
field campaign scheduled for August 1 - October 31, 2004 targets the coastal
and desert regions of the United Arab Emirates. The main scientific goal is to
evaluate and improve satellite derived aerosol and ocean products commonly used
by the scientific community. Over 20 research laboratories are participating in
the field campaign.
The Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) team defines the UAE region
by the lat/lon coordinates 27N, 50E to 21N, 57E which corresponds to MISR Paths
155 - 166 and Blocks 68 - 74. MISR's mission objectives involve satellite
calibration and validation of new MISR aerosol and aerosol height algorithms
over dark water under mixed aerosol conditions and over bright surfaces with
significant dust.
