GISMOS Gathers Detailed Pre-storm Data

Track GISMOS (GNSS [Global Navigation Satellite System] Instrument System for Multistatic and Occultation Sensing) as it gathers onshore moisture feeding data (for the 3-4 days of heavy rain forecasted in Northern California). GISMOS is gathering data from its perch aboard the NOAA G-IV aircraft during the NOAA CALWATER2015 Atmospheric Rivers campaign. Go tohttp://airbornescience.nasa.gov/tracker/ and select the NOAA GIV (N49F) on the dropdown list.

GISMOS was created by IGPP geophysicist Jennifer Haase and her colleagues—and funded by a NSF Rapid grant—to capture detailed weather conditions with precision to improve storm predition and modeling.
