Aura Validation Experiment Jan 0524 Jan - 09
Feb 2005, Pease Tradeport, Portsmouth, New
Hampshire, USA

• Facts
• CAFS, DIAL, AROTAL, FTIR, ASUR
• 6 successful science flights, 2 Ferry flights
• Land, sea, ice sheets, snow cover, clouds
• Multiple Aura nadir tracks per flight
• Opportunities
• Ozone total column validation
• medium to high solar zenith angle / above low
  and high cloudsopen ocean, snow covered land,
  ice sheets / ozone and aerosols lidar profiles
• NO2 stratospheric column validation
• medium to high solar zenith angle / column above
  aircraft / cloudsstratospheric spatial
  variability / in situ spirals during boundary
  layer runs
• Clouds and aerosols validation
• lidar cloud top heights and cloud structure,
  PSCs
• North American continent outflow
• urban area outflow of O3, NO2, HNO3, SO2, CH4,
  HCHO, aerosols, etc.
