Abstract: The Wide-Angle Imaging Lidar (WAIL), a new instrument that measures cloud optical and geometrical properties by means of off-beam lidar returns, was deployed as part of a multi-instrument campaign to probe a cloud field ...

Abstract: This paper describes the design and characteristics of a scanning spectral polarimeter designed to measure spectral radiances and fluxes in the range between 0.4 and 4.0 ?m. The instrument characteristics are described, ...

Abstract: With the aim of improving the consistency of terrestrial and atmospheric longwave radiation measurements within the Baseline Surface Radiation Network, five Eppley Precision Infrared Radiometer (PIR) pyrgeometers and one ...
