CAR ARMCAS Arctic Cloud BRDF Measurements V2 (CAR_ARMCAS_BRDF) at GES DISC

The Arctic Radiation Measurement in Column Atmosphere-surface System (ARMCAS) was a collaborative research effort between the Cloud and Aerosol Research (CAR) Group, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Washington (led by Professor Peter V. Hobbs) and Drs. Michael King and Si-Chee Tsay of NASA/Goddard. The field portion of ARMCAS was based out of Deadhorse, Alaska, from June 3-15, 1995. Flights of the University of Washington's Convair C-131A research aircraft and NASA's ER-2 aircraft took place over the tundra of the North Slope and over the partially ice-covered Beaufort Sea. Several of these flights were closely coordinated in order to provide simultaneous in situ and remote sensing measurements of arctic clouds.

This data set consists of observations made with the CAR instrument and includes values for bidirectional reflectance factor at varying spectral bands.

北极辐射测量柱状大气-地表系统（ARMCAS）是华盛顿大学大气科学系云与气溶胶研究组（由Peter V. Hobbs教授领导）与NASA/Goddard的Michael King博士及Si-Chee Tsay博士之间的一项合作研究项目。ARMCAS的实地调查部分于1995年6月3日至15日在阿拉斯加的死马士进行。华盛顿大学Convair C-131A研究飞机和NASA的ER-2飞机在北坡苔原及部分冰封的波弗特海上空进行了飞行。其中几架飞行进行了紧密协调，以便提供对北极云的同步原位和遥感测量。本数据集包括使用CAR仪器进行的观测数据，并包含不同光谱带的双向反射率因子值。
