Abstract

We present an overview of the 2024 West-Coast Hyperspectral Microwave Sensor Intensive Experiment(WHyMSIE). WHyMSIE is a joint NASA-NOAA multi-sensor airborne experiment, embracing passive and active sensors from the Program of Record (PoR) along with novel technology funded through the NASA ESTO Instrument Incubation Program. At the core of this effort is the demonstration of the Conical Scanning Millimeter-wave Imaging Radiometer Hyperspectral (CoSMIR-H) instrument, a PBL DSI funded effort to develop hyperspectral sounding capability in the thermal microwave domain finalized to improved temperature and water vapor soundings in the Earth’s Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL). An overview of the field campaign design, instrument payload and validation plan is presented here.
