SITAC

Dave Pope and eight other participants from SITAC visited the SGP on 19 June to discuss arrangements for this campaign. Since their visit, the date of the campaign has been moved back one week. Dave Pope (SITAC) and Jim Teske are working on a subcontract with Aeromet Corp. to provide the materials and services to support this campaign. They will lease the field to the north of the central facility in order to deploy a variety of targets for their airborne imagers. Dave Pope, Spectral Information Technology Application Center (SITAC) and scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL) have proposed to test methods for remotely sensing industrial emissions at the SGP. This will involve releases of various gases from the SGP central facility during over flights of a Twin Otter and the WB-57 aircraft. This campaign carried out four successful aircraft flights over the SGP central facility and concluded on 1 September.
