JPL Airborne Imaging Spectroscopy 

The Classic Airborne Visible and Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS-C) has completed the CalWATER 2 flights on the NASA AFRC ER-2.  Results from the three phases of water Level 2 reflectance retrieval algorithm are indicating exciting results of mixed phase cloud identification off the coast of California.  The new Level 2 products are showing that AVIRIS-C has the ability to separate liquid and ice clouds.  In addition JPL and GSFC Earth Observing System  (EOS - Aqua and Terra)  are working on developing Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( MODIS) cloud retrievals with AVIRIS-C data from CalWATER 2.
