Miniaturized UAS Spectroradiometer for Quantifying Ecosystems
SBC: SPORIAN MICROSYSTEMS, INC Topic: 19aTerrestrial models of carbon stock and flux rely on detailed parameterizations using trait data to represent vegetation processes in a given ecosystem. Hyperspectral optical characterization (350-2500 nm) can quantify many of these parameterizations at both leaf and landscape scales. Traditional aircraft and large-payload Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) provide an excellent opportunity to utilize hy ...

Cloud droplet characterization instrument for small aerial platforms
SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC Topic: 17aStratus and stratocumulus clouds with low drop concentration and large drop diameter are scientifically very important, because this is the regime in which drizzle drops are formed. The formation of drizzle can lead to a rapid modification of the cloud droplet size distribution, which in turn has a strong influence on the cloud's radiative properties. Because stratus and stratocumulus clouds cover ...
