invites highly motivated advanced undergraduates who will be rising seniors in
summer 2016 to apply for participation in the 8<sup>th</sup> annual NASA
Student Airborne Research Program (SARP 2016). <span style="color:rgb(1,2,2)">Participants will fly onboard the NASA DC-8 and assist in
the operation of instruments to sample and measure atmospheric solar radiation,
gases and aerosols. They will also use remote sensing data collected during the
program from the NASA ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft to image land and
water surfaces in multiple spectral bands.</span> Along with airborne data
collection, students will participate in taking measurements at field sites. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Students will work in multi-disciplinary
teams to study surface, atmospheric, and oceanographic processes. </span>Each student will complete an individual research project from the data
collected. <span style="color:rgb(1,2,2)"></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Outstanding
faculty and staff for this program will be drawn from several universities and
NASA centers, as well as from NASA flight operations and engineering personnel.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The eight-week
program begins June 12, 2016 and concludes August 5, 2016. </span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Instrument and flight preparations, and the
research flights themselves, will take place during the first two weeks of the
program at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center, in Palmdale, CA.
Post-flight data analysis and interpretation will take place during the final
six weeks of the program at the University of California, Irvine.</span></p>
