SLAP Local 2021 - B200 - LARC 02/17/21 Science Report
Third of three calibration flights to verify instrument operation at an elevated internal temperature to prepare for science flights this summer.
Operated SLAP instrument with radiometer internal calibration set to 35 C.
Departed KLFI and leveled off at 1000 AGL science altitude. Performed water calibration over Kerr Reservoir. Flew two science lines over Caledonia State Prison Farm, three over the farmland West of Murfreesboro, and four over the farmland south of the Great Dismal Swamp, which contains irrigated and non-irrigated areas in an East-West gradient.
Performed a water calibration over buoys in the Chesapeake Bay Northeast of Hampton, then returned to KLFI.
