The Continuous Light Absorption Photometer (CLAP) is an airborne in situ photometer developed by the NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML) Aerosol Group. It uses light-diffusing filtering to measure aerosol light absorption coefficients at 468, 529, and 652 nm. It has a detection limit of 0.02 inverse megameters and a precision of 4% for hourly averages. CLAP was designed for long-term studies of the climate-forcing properties of aerosols.
