Spectrometer for Sky-Scanning Sun-Tracking Atmospheric Research (4STAR): Instrument Technology
The Spectrometer for Sky-Scanning, Sun-Tracking Atmospheric Research (4STAR) combines airborne sun tracking and sky scanning with diffraction spectroscopy to improve knowledge of atmospheric constituents and their links to air-pollution/climate. Direct beam hyper-spectral measurement of optical depth improves retrievals of gas constituents and determination of aerosol properties. Sky scanning e...
متن کاملHyperspectral aerosol optical depths from TCAP flights
[1] The 4STAR (Spectrometer for Sky-Scanning, Sun-Tracking Atmospheric Research), a hyperspectral airborne Sun photometer, acquired aerosol optical depths (AOD) at 1Hz during all July 2012 flights of the Two-Column Aerosol Project. Root-mean-square differences from Aerosol Robotic Network ground-based observations were 0.01 at wavelengths between 500–1020 nm, 0.02 at 380 and 1640 nm, and 0.03 a...
متن کاملGround-based and Satellite Measurements of Stratospheric Nitrogen Dioxide and Ozone over the South of Portugal
Thanks to the new satellite technology, global scenes of the dynamical and chemical processes of the atmospheric compounds can be drawn. Ground-based equipments have to be used for comparison/validation of the satellite retrievals. The SPATRAM (SPectrometer for Atmospheric TRacers and Aerosol Measurement) is a UV-Vis spectrometer allowing for the measurements of spectral sky radiance along the ...
متن کاملSIRAS-G, The Spaceborne Infrared Atmospheric Sounder: The Potential for High-Resolution IR Imaging Spectrometry From Geosynchronous Orbit
The Spaceborne Atmospheric Infrared Sounder for Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (SIRAS-G) represents a new approach to infrared atmospheric sounding of the Earth from geosynchronous orbit. SIRAS-G, one of nine proposals selected for development under NASA’s 2002 Instrument Incubator Program, is an instrument development effort for an instrument of less mass and power than heritage sounding instrumen...
متن کاملTechnical guide to Set Up a Spectral Solar Direct Normal Irradiance Permanent Station: Study Area- Hannover, Germany
The spectral Direct Normal Irradiance (SDNI) is a basic radiometric quantity from which many other quantities can be derived. It provides not only information about the spectral and distribution of the direct solar radiation reaching a particular location. Accurate knowledge about the spectral direct irradiance shall enable us to gain new scientific results in the: determination of cloud effect...
