The Airborne Hyper-Angular Rainbow Polarimeter (AirHARP) is an airborne polarimeter developed by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). AirHARP measures the microphysical properties of aerosols and clouds in the atmosphere. It operates across four spectral channels (440, 550, 670, and 870 nm) and features a wide swath and fine angular resolution. AirHARP provides imagery at 60 viewing angles in the 670 nm channel and 20 viewing angles in the other three channels. Its multi-angle imaging capabilities make AirHARP well suited for cloud and aerosol research applications.
