SMART: Surface Measurement Atmosphere Radiative Transfer

Here are some of the instruments that are part of SMART-COMMIT. We will continue to update this page as the capabilities of the facility grows and improves.

FieldSpec Pro by Analytical Spectral Devices, Inc.
Collects solar reflectance, radiance and irradiance measurements
10 nm spectral resolution
0.35-2.5 µm spectral range
Model PSP by The Eppely Laboratory, Inc.
Measures sun and sky radiation, in total or in pre-defined broad wavelength bands
0.285 to 2.8 µm thermopile with WG295 domes (Schott optical glass)
9 µV/Wm-2 sensitivity
Model PIR by The Eppely Laboratory, Inc.
Measures diffuse and total global irradiance; also computes direct irradiance at seven narrow-bandwidth wavelengths in the UV-A and UV-B regions
3.5 to 50 µm t transmission range
4 µV/Wm-2 sensitivity
Model MFR-7 by Yankee Environmental Sysyems, Inc.
Measures diffuse and total global irradiance, and computes direct irradiance at seven narrow-bandwidth wavelengths in the UV-A and UV-B regions
300, 305.5, 311.4, 317.6, 325.4, 332.4, and 368 nm spectral response
2 -3 % radiometric accuracy with angle corrections applied
Model TSP-700 by Yankee Environmental Sysyems, Inc.
A precision meteorological instrument that measures global (direct and diffuse) total solar radiation
0.3 to 3 um spectral response
1 W/m2 resolution
Model Cimel CE 318-1 by NASA/GSFC-Aeronet
Measures the direct solar irradiance and sky radiance at the Earth's surface. Measurements are taken at pre-determined discrete wavelengths in the visible and near-IR parts of the spectrum to determine atmospheric transmission and scattering properties.
340, 378, 440, 499, 613, 870, 940 and 1020 nm narrowband erference filters
No ambient temperature dependence (-50 ~ +50 C)
