New Instrumentation within Code 613.3

1. New Instrumentation within Code 613.3 • Lidars Tom McGee • Modified Brewer, PANDORA, MSSM, ShadowBand Spectrometer Jay Herman • (MSSM: Multiple Stereo Spectrometer Mission) • ACAM Scott Janz • (ACAM: Airborne Compact Atmospheric Mapper) • GEO-MAC (GEO-CAPE) Instruments Randy Kawa

2. Lidar: Tom McGee • Tropospheric ground-based measurements from the AT Lidar Trailer • Delivers profiles of ozone, water vapor, temperature and aerosols (incl. depolarization, color ratios, extinction) • Since this is largely an NDACC* instrument, there is the possibility of putting it at the station on Mauna Loa to complement all the measurements made there currently. • We also plan to propose this year to continue the NDACC measurements program. • Discussions have started (with Dave Whiteman) on a combined water vapor/ozone/aerosol lidar for UAV deployment. This is in its infancy, but would provide a useful set of data products. It would probably be a 3-5 year development timeframe. • *Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC) NOAA

3. Spectrometers: Jay Herman • Ground Based: BREWER, PANDORA, SHADOWBAND, AND MSSM (proposed) • The GSFC modified Brewer spectrometer is able to measure ozone, aerosols, trace gas amounts (NO2, SO2, HCHO), and ozone profiles. The measurements have been the basis for development of the PANDORA series of spectrometers and MSSM • The PANDORA spectrometers consist of two versions: 1) Direct-Sun measurements (NO2, H2O, AOD, O3, SO2, HCHO, CHOCHO, BrO) • 2) Sky-Radiance and Direct-Sun Measurements (NO2, H2O, AOD, SSA, O3, SO2, HCHO, CHOCHO, BrO)

4. Spectrometers: Jay Herman - Continued • The Shadowband spectrometer is based on a modification of the GSFC UV-MFRSR. • It can measure aerosol properties (AOD & SSA) as a continuous function of wavelength from 320 nm to 900 nm simultaneously. • It may also measures trace gases (NO2, H2O, O3, SO2, HCHO, CHOCHO, BrO), but algorithms are not developed. • MSSM (Multiple Stereo Spectrometer Mission) is a rectangular CCD set of instruments measuring space and wavelength simultaneously at two different central pointing angles. • The purpose is to measure trace-gas and aerosol profiles

5. Modified Brewer and Two Versions of Pandora

6. ShadowBand Spectrometer Uses conventional motor and band with filter portion replaced by a fiber optic coupled spectrometer.
