    • S-MODE MASS Level 1 Visible Imagery Version 1

    Metadata Updated: July 23, 2024

    This dataset contains airborne visible imagery from the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) during a pilot campaign conducted approximately 300 km offshore of San Francisco over two weeks in October 2021. S-MODE aims to understand how ocean dynamics acting on short spatial scales influence the vertical exchange of physical and biological variables in the ocean. The Modular Aerial Sensing System (MASS) is an airborne instrument package that is mounted on the DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft which flies long duration detailed surveys of the field domain during deployments. MASS includes an IO Industries Flare 12M125-CL camera with 14mm lens mounted nadir in the aircraft in an orientation so that the short edge of the image was parallel with the aircraft heading. The camera was synchronized to a coupled GPS/IMU system with images taken at 5hz. Raw images were calibrated for lens distortion and boresight misalignment with the GPS/IMU. Images were georeferenced to the post-processed aircraft trajectory and exported with reference to WGS84 datum with a UTM zone 10 projection (EPSG 32610) at an altitude-dependent spatial resolution. Level 1 images are available in TIFF format.
