Description

During the RACORO field program, the multi-disciplinary instrumentation flown onboard the Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely Piloted Aircraft Studies (CIRPAS) Twin Otter included a Hydrorad-3 Hyperspectral Radiometer. It simultaneously measured upward and downward spectral irradiances, as well as the radiance for a three-degree field of view that could be either upward- or downward-looking. Measurements covered the visible range from 350 to 850 nm at down to 0.3-nm resolution with a fast response time. The poster will examine the performance of this new instrument and explore its potential use for scientific applications such as cloud property retrievals.
