Simulated Spectra for Autonomous Arctic Infrared Observer
The project will be a proof of concept for a new instrument platform called the Autonomous Arctic Infrared Observer (AAIRO). The primary goal is to assess the value of data products retrieved from simulated AAIRO measurements relative to instruments that are currently deployed as part of the ICECAPS...
