The Role of Airborne Spectrometers

Identifying and quantifying greenhouse gas emissions with the AVIRIS

Airborne imaging spectrometers play a critical role in a multi-sensor greenhouse gas observing system. For example, the differing spatial resolution and instrument sensitivity of the EMIT

Aerosol Mass Spectrometers | Accuracy, Detection & Analysis

Aerosol mass spectrometers (AMS) are critical tools in environmental science, atmospheric chemistry, and air quality research. These instruments are designed to measure the

Airborne mass spectrometers: four decades of atmospheric and space

In the past 40 years, our research group at the Air Force Research Laboratory has flown quadrupole mass spectrometers of many designs on nearly 100 sounding rockets, nine satellites, three Space

A new airborne single particle mass spectrometer: PALMS-NG

Single Particle Mass Spectrometers (SPMSs) have proven to be well suited for in-situ and real-time atmospheric aerosol measurements. The data produced by these instruments are a mix of

The AVIRIS-4 Airborne Imaging Spectrometer

Commissioned by the Swiss Airborne Research Facility for the Earth System (ARES) research consortium, AVIRIS-4 is geared toward delivering cutting-edge imaging spectroscopy data

Spectrometer | NASA Airborne Science Program

It is intended to simulate existing satellite imager products (MODIS/VIIRS,) and to validate radiances and geophysical retrievals, with an emphasis on cloud and aerosol science. It will

Airborne Science Instruments at Ames

CAR is a multi-wavelength scanning radiometer for determining albedo of clouds in the visible and near-infrared and measuring the angular distribution of scattered radiation and

Airborne Visible / Infrared Imaging Spectrometer AVIS: Design

We describe the instrument design and present the results of laboratory characterization and calibration of the system''s second generation, AVIS-2, which is currently being operated. The

Performance of Airborne Imaging Spectrometers for Carbon Dioxide

In this study, we assess the capability of an airborne monitoring system with temporally sparse observations to constrain annual emissions at both facility and regional scales.
