Analysis and Measurement of Cloud Free Line of Sight and Related Cloud Statistical Behavior

Abstract

The Atmospheric Optics Group at the Marine Physical Lab, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego, has been developing Whole Sky Imagers (WSI) for many years. A Day/Night WSI which had 24-hour a day capability was initially developed in the early 1990's, and has been significantly upgraded in capability since that time. One of these instruments, Day/Night WSI Unit 2, was delivered to the Air Force Starfire Optical Range. This work was funded by the Air Force Phillips Lab under Contract N00014-89-D-0142 DO #18.
