The A-Train Observes Tropica
…
| Title |
The A-Train Observes Tropical Storm Debby |
| Abstract |
The A-Train is a group of spacecraft flying in close formation allowing data taken by each instrument to be correlated to the other instruments providing data synergy. The A-Train includes Aqua, Cloudsat, CALIPSO, Parasol, and Aura. The animation begins showing the Earth with moving clouds and with a day/night terminator. Time slows down, and A-train spacecraft orbits are added during a daytime pass. The orbits progress around the globe for 12 hours. During a night time pass the camera zooms into Tropical Storm Debby as the A-train flys over on August 24, 2006. Data sets from some of the A-train's spacecraft/instruments are shown including Aqua/MODIS, Cloudsat, CALIPSO, and Aqua/AIRS. This visualization was created to support an A-Train session at the 2007 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS). |

Doyle O-2 Oriole
| Title |
Doyle O-2 Oriole |
| Description |
Doyle O-2 Oriole: The parasol-winged Doyle O-2 Oriole monoplane was flown by the NACA at Langley starting in 1929. The O-2 designation was not a military type number, but rather a company designation. The Oriole was later traded as partial payment for a Fairchild 22. The O-2 was outfitted with a fore-and-aft sliding weight in the cockpit for longitudinal stability tests. |
