Objective(s): To collect airborne remote sensing data across a wide variety of ecosystems in both the US and Canada.
Project Description: Preliminary flight lines have been planned with the goal of collecting data across a wide variety of ecosystems in both the US and Canada, with flights occurring from May – October 2017. The ultimate timing and flight paths would be dictated by weather and operational limitations at the time of flight, though deviations are expected to be minimal. A variety of aircraft and sensor suites will be used to obtain the desired measurements. Multiple radars, lidars, spectrometers, air and dust samplers, and camera systems will be operated, all at high altitude (= 5,000 ft.) with no impact to the ground below. Flight teams will be based out of Yellowknife and Fairbanks airfields, but will be refueling at many different airports in the region. Overall flight coordination will be completed as required through official channels with the United States Federal Aviation Administration and Transport Canada. Additional coordination at...
