Upgrade of the LIMDAS Day/Night Whole Sky Imager

Abstract

The Whole Sky Imager (WSI) is a ground-based system for assessment of cloud cover over the full upper hemisphere. Using a fish-eye lens and a slow scan CCD sensor, it acquires imagery through daylight, into moonlight and starlight conditions.

This contract funding enabled MPL to complete assembly of the system and field it, and develop supporting software
