A New Hyperspectral Imaging Interferometer for Measurements of Surface Albedo

Minnett, P.J.(a) and Sellar, R.G.(b), Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Miami (a), Florida Space Institute (b)
Twelfth Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Science Team Meeting

Uncertainties in the bidirectional reflection coefficient of the surface is a major component of the errors in the measurements of the surface radiation budget. A new instrument will be presented that measures the spectrally resolved surface reflectivity using an interferometric imager to produce a three-dimensional data cube (two spatial dimensions and spectral wavelength). Initially designed for spacecraft applications this can be used on aircraft, helicopters and other near-surface platforms.
