CLIMAT
Conveyable Low-noise Infrared Radiometer for Measurements of Atmosphere and Ground Surface Targets

The Conveyable Low-noise Infrared Radiometer for Measurements of Atmosphere and Ground Surface Targets (CLIMAT) radiometer was designed to detect thermal infrared, multispectral bands during field projects on either aircraft or balloons. The incident radiometric signal to the thermopile detector leads to a low noise and weakly temperature dependent output. The CLIMAT radiometer was designed to applied to various studies such as vegetation, cloud-cover, and calibration of satellite-based remote sensing instrumentation.
