Four flight scenarios have been identified in TARFOX planning to date; more may be developed before the intensive field period. The Vertical Profile Focus scenario has been reviewed by the aircraft groups; a draft summary of this scenario is included on the next two pages. Below are notes on the other scenarios.
Science goals, features, and sketches on next two pages.
Radiative flux change per aerosol optical thickness change (dF/dAOT) derived primarily from dF/dZ, dAOT/dZ.
Remaining details to be worked:
(easier to get clearance for horizontal flights??)
dF/dAOT derived primarily from dF/dX, dAOT/dX, measured while flying across haze gradient
NOTE: Each of the above scenarios could be flown with morning or afternoon satellite overpasses.
