This dataset contains orthocorrected and atmospherically corrected water-leaving reflectance data from the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) during the IOP1 campaign conducted approximately 300 km offshore of San Francisco during Fall 2022. S-MODE aims to understand how ocean dynamics acting on short spatial scales influence the vertical exchange of physical and biological variables in the ocean. The Portable Remote Imaging Spectrometer (PRISM) is an airborne instrument package that is mounted on the GIII aircraft which flies long duration detailed surveys of the field domain during deployments. PRISM contains a pushbroom imaging spectrometer operating at near-UV to near-IR wavelengths (350-1050 nm), which produced high temporal resolution and resolve spatial features as small as 30 cm. PRISM also has a two-channel spot radiometer at short-wave infrared (SWIR) band (1240 nm and 1640 nm), that is co-aligned with the spectrometer and is used to provide accurate atmospheric correction of the ocean color measurements. Level 2a reflectance data is available in ENVI format.

This dataset contains airborne sea surface temperature (SST) measurements from the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE). Data were collected approximately 300 km offshore of San Fransisco during a pilot campaign in October 2021, and an intensive operating period (IOP) in Fall 2022. S-MODE aims to understand how ocean dynamics acting on short spatial scales influence the vertical exchange of physical and biological variables in the ocean. The Multiscale Observing System of the Ocean Surface (MOSES) is an aerial observing system that primarily uses a longwave infrared (LWIR) camera to record SST at a resolution of several meters. Individual images are mosaiced together to provide a synoptic map of the sample domain covering approximately 200 km. MOSES is mounted on the B200 aircraft which flies daily surveys of the field domain during deployments. Data are available in netCDF format.

This dataset contains airborne DoppVis imagery from the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) during the IOP1 campaign conducted approximately 300 km offshore of San Francisco in Fall 2022. S-MODE aims to understand how ocean dynamics acting on short spatial scales influence the vertical exchange of physical and biological variables in the ocean. The Modular Aerial Sensing System (MASS) is an airborne instrument package that is mounted on the DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft which flies long duration detailed surveys of the field domain during deployments. MASS includes a Nikon D850 camera with a 14mm lens mounted with a 90 degree rotation and a 30 degree positive pitch angle during flight. The camera was synchronized to a coupled GPS/IMU system with images taken at 2hz. Raw images were calibrated for lens distortion and boresight misalignment with the GPS/IMU. Images were georeferenced to the processed aircraft trajectory and exported with reference to WGS84 datum with a UTM zone 10 projection (EPSG 32610) at 50cm resolution. Level 1 DoppVis images are available as GZIP flightlines containing individual TIFF images.
