DEVOTE
The DEVOTE (Development and Evaluation of satellite ValidatiOn Tools by Experimenters) project will modify the NASA Langley B-200 aircraft to carry a suite of in situ instruments and then deploy this aircraft along with a remote sensor suite aboard the NASA Langley UC-12 aircraft to study aerosol and cloud optical and microphysical parameters. Coincident measurements will be taken over AERONET ground sites and along atmospheric satellite ground tracks to demonstrate the ability to utilize these platforms for future scientific measurement campaigns. Measurements will also be useful for evaluating advanced data retrieval algorithms using combined lidar and polarimeter data.
