National Airborne Field Experiment
Aim
To provide access to a wide range of airborne and ground-based monitoring data in return for contributing to airborne and ground-based monitoring programs. Through open collaboration across a range of scientific disciplines, the value of data collected will be far greater and the costs involved far less than what any single group effort would be able to achieve or afford.
