4STAR: Spectrometer for Sky-Scanning, Sun-Tracking Atmospheric Research A collaboration involving: PNNL: Connor J. Flynn, B. Schmid, E. Kassianov NASA Ames: S. Dunagan, R. Johnson, Y.Shinozuka, P. Russell, J. Redemann, J.Livingston, S. Ramachandran, J. Zavaleta NASA GSFC: AERONET Team

4STAR: Spectrometer for Sky-Scanning, Sun-Tracking Atmospheric Research AERONET-like capability Ground-based direct beam + sky scanning yields column-integrated aerosol properties: Size distributions Single-scattering albedo Asymmetry parameter Sphericity Improve gases And thus AOD Airborne spectra yields profiles of aerosol type AATS-like capability: Airborne sun-tracking yields range-resolved properties from column- integrated quantities measured while profiling.

Proposed 4STAR data products: Direct beam [W/(m 2 nm)] Aerosol Optical Depth, Extinction (via vertical profiling) Gases: H 2 O, O 3, NO 2, CO 2 (column and in profile) Angularly resolved sky radiance [W/(m 2 nm sr)] Phase function Asymmetry parameter Aerosol Sphericity Size distributions Ambient aerosol absorption Single-scattering albedo Synthesis products Cloud OD, R eff (Barker et al.) Spectral range: modular, but currently 350 nm – 1.7  m.

4STAR and its Use…

AATS (Team) provides a bridge between orbital and various suborbital sensors Satellite validation (aerosol, H 2 O, O 3 ): AIRS (1), ATSR-2 (2*), AVHRR (4), GMS (1), GOES (2), GOME (1), MISR (5), MODIS (10), POAM (2), SAGE-3 (2), SeaWiFS (1), TOMS (2) Airborne satellite simulators (4) Airborne in situ aerosol (13) Lidars: surface (10), airborne (4) Radiative Forcing with Pilewskie SSFR (4) Atmospheric Correction (2) Model predictions of aerosol profiles (1) Surface Albedo (1) (70+ peer-reviewed publications since 1996)

Ground Prototype (4STAR-Ground) Quasi-monolithic, no moving parts, ceramic body, Range: nm, Resolution ~ 2 nm Zeiss MCS CCD spectrometer

Key Technological Hurdles: Fiber optic couplings with <1% calibration stability (Connections/Rotation) Irradiance calibration to 1% over a period of months. Radiance calibration to a few percent. Stray light rejection: measure skylight within 3° of sun Sky scan within 100 seconds (10 km in flight)

Sun Photometer Inter-Comparison Experiment (SPICE) Mauna Loa, Aug. 24-Sept STAR Prede AATS-14 Cimel 037 Cimel 101 Cimel 451

Why Mauna Loa? High altitude (3.4 km), low aerosol loading (in morning) Intense direct beam, low sky brightness  Good Langleys for sun channel calibration Compare Langley calibrations of AATS-14, Prede, 4STAR and Cimel photometers Also provides a stringent test for radiance measurements with atmospheric conditions similar to flight conditions Confirm sufficient radiance signal levels. Compare sky radiances from 4STAR, Prede, and Cimels. Mauna Loa Sun Photometer Inter- Comparison Experiment (SPICE)

Radiance comparison conclusions: Radiance calibration and repeatability is sufficient. Radiance signal levels are strong, permitting fast sky scans, ~1 sec/angle Stray light near sun should be further reduced.

Langley calibrations show variability

Langley comparison conclusions… 4STAR Langley calibrations show acceptable relative stability (with respect to wavelength) but insufficient day-to- day stability. Temperature sensitivity as possible source Dark counts exhibit temperature variability Possibly a temperature-dependent gain. Enclosing spectrometers in temperature controlled box. Small light leak might contribute to instability as well.

Next steps… Add SWIR 900 nm nm spectrometer for more size and absorption information Reduce stray light in skylight measurements Provide temperature stability Eliminate light leak Continue spectral inversion development Harden design for airborne deployment

Funding outlook NASA and Battelle/PNNL internal bridge funding NASA ROSES proposal is pending If successful, this will carry us to a configuration for unpressurized airborne operation. Requesting support for final hardening sufficient for pressurized airborne operation, test flights, and for participation in Western Atlantic Tropospheric Aerosol Campaign (WATAC) 2011 or similar.
