NASA Langley Atmospheric Sciences Data Center (ASDC) and Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) teams collaborated to
provide special data products and images in a new and innovative approach for the United Arab Emirates Unified Aerosol
Experiment (UAE$^{2}$) field campaign. UAE$^{2}$ focused on the coastal and desert areas of the United Arab Emirates region
to gain insight on the properties and concentrations of aerosols and to understand how these aerosols might affect climate
change. Over 20 international research organizations participated in the field campaign which occurred August through October
2004. Aerosol and meteorological measurements were provided by a network of instruments on land, buoys and ships, by
airborne in situ and remote instruments, and by satellite retrievals.
MISR's role in UAE$^{2}$ was to provide satellite retrievals of aerosols, cloud and surface properties and imagery as quickly
as possible after data acquisition. The diverse group of participants created unique opportunities for ASDC and MISR to
develop special data products and images in multiple formats that were easily accessible by all participants. Planning and
testing of processes proved invaluable for smoothing the logistics of the ASDC-MISR team who reside on opposite coasts of the
United States, ASDC in Hampton, VA, and MISR at the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, CA. Examples of the data products,
images and access methods as well as the data flow will be presented.
