*G-III Science objectives:

Science Objectives: Box 17 is a high priority aquatic target with early solar window.  There are two buoys and potentially one boat in the water.  Boxes 14 and 13 are terrestrial targets that had cloudy acquisitions previously.  Box 30 is another terrestrial target that has not yet been flown.  Box 19 is a calibration buoy in a lake.

Plan A: 
TO: NET 0700
G3_box17_AM: L04, L03, L02, L01 in that priority order 
(on target NET 7:45, NLT 9:36) @ FL370
G3_14 (pickup): L01-L04 @ FL160
G3_13_L01 (pickup) @ FL160 (if there's time)
G3_30:  L01-L02 @ FL210 (if there’s time)
G3_19_PM @ FL at discretion

Plan B (lines can be flown in any order with a priority on Box 29 & 19):
TO: Delayed to 0845
G3_29: L01-L13 (Kogelberg) @ FL160 NET 0900
G3_30:  L01-L02 @ FL210
G3_13_L01 @ FL160 (if there’s time)
G3_14: L01-L04 @ FL160 (if there’s time)
G3_7_L04 @FL160 (if there’s time)
G3_19_PM @ FL at discretion

**G-V Science objectives:

Science Priorities: 1) G5_12 (both HyTES & LVIS) which has vegetation plots throughout and 2) clean up lines on G5_7, which also has vegetation plots throughout.  This plan also includes passing over the calibration buoy.

PLAN A: 
G5_25: R500AZ @ FL 170 or at discretion of team
G5_19: D950AZ @ FL 170 or at discretion of team
G5_12 LVIS: D204AZ-D219AZ @ FL240
G5_12 HYTES: D251AZ-D255AZ @ FL170          
G5_7 HYTES: B750AZ-B754AZ @ FL170 (will likely not have time but just in case)
G5_2 LVIS: B220AZ-B227AZ @ FL 240 (will likely not have time but just in case)
G5_19 HYTES: D950AZ @ FL 170 or at discretion of team (only if you didn’t get it in the morning)

PLAN B:
G5_2 HYTES: H650AZ-H657AZ @ FL 160 (higher priority)
G5_2 LVIS: B220AZ-B227AZ @ FL 240 (lower priority, do as many as you can)
G5_2 LVIS: B228AZ-B235AZ @ FL 240  (lower priority, do as many as you can)
G5_19 HYTES: D950AZ @ FL at crew discretion
LVIS RNP can be done over ocean whenever you find a chance.

G3_25 @ FL 100 or at discretion

**G-V Science objectives:

Science Priorities: 1) G5_12 (both HyTES & LVIS) which has vegetation plots throughout and 2) clean up lines on G5_7, which also has vegetation plots throughout.  This plan also includes passing over the calibration buoy, a pickup line in box 13 (in transit), another pickup line from box 16, followed by another pass over the calibration sites in box 19 and 25.

**G-III Science objectives: 
Box 1 and 16 are both sites with lots of vegetation plots and we want to get coincident data from both planes here. New pickup box is to coincide with EMIT overpass and assess termite mound biodiversity. Box 19 is the calibration buoy.

PLAN A: 
Takeoff 13:00 (may slip due to clouds)
Airport cal (AVIRIS/PRISM team to advise on FL and waypoints)
G3_1: Lines 4-7 @ FL170 (G5 will be at FL160 and FL240)
G3_16: Lines 1-4 @ FL180 (G5 is at FL160) (if cloudy we will drop this box)
Tankwa karoo lines (New lines! See email for waypoints) @ FL180 (do as many lines as you can in the time you have)
G3_19 (if not cloudy) @ any FL (NET 1518; NLT 1648)

**G-V Science objectives: 
Box 1 and 16 are both sites with lots of vegetation plots and we want to get coincident data from both planes here. HYTES needs full coverage of Box 1, LVIS pickup lines. New Tankwa Karoo lines are to coincide with EMIT overpass and assess termite mound biodiversity. Box 19 is the calibration buoy.

PLAN A: 
Takeoff 1100 (may slip due to clouds)
G5_1 HYTES B150AZ - B156 AZ @ FL 160 (G3 will be at @ FL 170)
G5_1 LVIS B124 AZ - B120AZ; @ FL240
*G5_L1 only if there is time. Lowest priority. End this pattern with a N end of 
B120AZ with a 1.1mile offset to the east for Robbin island
G5_19 HYTES D950AZ @FL at discretion of team.
Tankwa Karoo lines T108AZ - T101AZ @ FL 170 (G3 @ FL 180) 
*only flying low for this target. Can go down to 160 to avoid GIII if needed.
