**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.
