Infrared Cloud Imager Cloud Cover Time Series
The Infrared Cloud Imager (ICI) was deployed at Barrow, AK from 13 July 2012 through 22 July 2014. This imager uses a thermal infrared camera with a 110 degree (diagonal) field of view and 1.25 aspect ratio to image the overhead sky in the 8 to 14 micron band. By removing the clear-sky radiance from...
