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