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: Measurements of solar and infrared irradiance by instruments rigidly mounted to an aircraft have historically been plagued by the introduction of offsets and fluctuations into the data that are solely due to the pitch and ...
