Description:The fifth dedicated VIIRS Cal/Val cruise took place 8 September to 17 September 2019 aboard the NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter in the Atlantic coastal waters of the US East Coast. In situ AOP radiometry and IOP optical measurements were made with multiple instruments deployed in several modes (e.g., in-water profiling, above water, flow-through, etc.) and water samples were collected for later processing to provide measurements of additional ocean properties. Uncertainties in the in situ and satellite validation measurements will be estimated by utilizing pre-and post-cruise calibrations of instruments, simultaneous measurements of parameters utilizing multiple techniques and instruments and evaluation of data processing techniques. Clear weather immediately following the passage of Hurricane Dorian and strategic station planning resulted in a record number of satellite matchups (24 for VIIRS SNPP and 23 for NOAA-20) at the 26 stations occupied.
