GAMS/LAABS
Gas and Aerosol Measurement Sensor/Langley Airborne A-Band Spectrometer
The Gas and Aerosol Measurement Sensor/Langley Airborne A-Band Spectrometer (GAMS/LAABS) is an airborne spectrometer system designed at Langley Research Center (LaRC). It is a combination of the GAMS and LAABS instruments and provides line-of-sight (LOS) transmission spectra measurements of aerosols, water vapor, and oxygen compounds. These measurements are used to determine aerosol optical depth. GAMS operates across 1024 spectral channels in the 430 to 1030 spectral range and acquires data at a rate of 180 Hz. LAABS operates across over 800 channels in the 759 to 771 nm spectral range at a resolution of about 0.035 nm and has an integration time of 1.5 seconds.
