Calibrating the sunphotometer family

4STAR work identified in next year's Earth Science field work

4STAR scientist and field missions are showcased in a news article:

NASA scientists are crisscrossing the globe in 2017 – from a Hawaiian volcano to Colorado mountain tops and west Pacific islands – to investigate critical scientific questions about how our planet is changing and what impacts humans are having on it.

4STAR watching the sun rise in Namibia

4STAR sitting on top of the NASA P3 is watching the sun rise from Africa. It was getting ready for the first of many coordinated flights with the NASA P3 and ER2.

ORACLES sampled biomass burning aerosol above clouds with the use of 4STAR

ORACLES is now operating in Namibia. 4STAR integrated on the NASA P3 sampled the thick biomass burning aerosol layer over clouds in the South East Atlantic. 

2STAR: Newest member of the sunphotometer family

We have been working towards a ground based detector standard to help link 4STAR measurements from the air to a stable ground source. This is the 2STAR, Spectrometer for Sun-Tracking Atmospheric Research.
