TEFLUN-A Related flights - MAMS Instrument
Sample data from MAMS during flight 98047 on April 18, 1998
These images, obtained from a NASA aircraft, are a composite of three
visible spectral channels, white represents clouds (some of which have a
pretty blue tint meaning they are highly reflective in the blue channel.
The dark regions are simply partly cloudy (breaks in the clouds) areas.
The first three vertically aligned images below are near College Station
Texas at the top of each image, and off the coast of Galveston Texas at the
bottom of the image. Geometric "V-shaped" black areas on the left and
right side of each track indicate that the aircraft is undergoing a turn.
The next two images show data from midway between College Station,
and Galveston at the top of the image to a point nearly due south of
Lake Charles Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. See the
flight track
for the actual passes. The final (horizontal image) depicts
the return leg back over Louisiana for a well deserved rest for the
aircraft and the pilot.
