CLAMS CV-580 Cloud Absorption Radiometer (CAR)

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/asdc_daac/clams/0002

Description

CLAMS_CV580_CAR data were collected during the Chesapeake Lighthouse and Aircraft Measurements for Satellites (CLAMS) experiment.The Cloud Absorption Radiometer (CAR) instrument is an airborne multi-wavelength scanning radiometer, designed to operate from a mounted position aboard various aircraft, including the nose cone of the University of Washington's Convair CV-580. Developed by Dr. Michael King at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the CAR instrument measures radiance for 190 degrees, and total view at 1 degree field of view resolution.

Instrument functions include:
