•Flights were coordinated with the LIAISE science team, who operated in situ soil sensors, flux towers, tethered balloons, and radiosondes from multiple locations in the science target area

•Two other non-NASA aircraft with hyperspectral imagery, in-situ turbulence, and GNSS-R sensors also flew during the campaign
