CORAL Experiment

Description

The CORAL experiment is a Earth Venture Suborbital-2 (EVS-2) mission designed to provide an extensive, uniform picture of coral reef composition through the use of the Portable Remote Imaging Spectrometer (PRISM) instrument aboard the Tempus Applied Solutions Gulfstream-IV (G-IV) aircraft combined with a variety of in situ data to identify reef composition and model primary production. The CORAL experiment covers the Mariana Islands, Palau, portions of the Great Barrier Reef, and the Main Hawaiian Islands.INTERNAL LINKSCORAL-PRISM Browser (Aircraft data)EXTERNAL LINKSBIOS CORAL Page
