Ground-based passive remote sensing during FIRE IFO 2

Abstract

During the FIRE Cirrus IFO II, a set of passive radiometers were deployed at the Coffeyville, Kansas, Hub, site B, to compliment the Radiation Measurement System (RAMS) on board the NASA ER-2 and NCAR Sabreliner. The following three instruments were used at the surface: Narrow-field-of View IR Radiometer (NFOV); Total-Direct-Diffuse Radiometer (TDDR); and Near-Infrared Spectroradiometer (NIRS)
