This is a new mission, created from the 2010-2012 “Northwest Coastal” suite of missions by sampling individual coast-parallel lines from those flights to form a grid spaced at 30-35 km from the coast to near the 2000m contour line. Two additional bedrock-mapping lines in the Tracy/Heilprin catchment were also taken.
 
This mission was chosen since it was the highest priority flight with clear weather, and also since it provided an opportunity for gravimeter cal/val since it had been flown during past OIB campaigns. The weather for this mission was forecast to be mostly clear with the possibility of clouds or haze at the far northern end of the line. The forecast largely matched the conditions and good data was collected throughout most of the flight with ATM and DMS data lost due to clouds at the northern edge of the final coastal line and the final bedrock mapping lines of the Tracy/Heilprin catchment area. The radars collected good data throughout, though MCoRDS was shut off the first ~100 miles of the flight so as not to interfere with aircraft communications near the Thule airport.
