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 developed at Langley Research Center (LaRC). It combines the GAMS and LAABS instruments and provides line-of-sight (LOS) transmission spectra of aerosols, water vapor, and oxygen compounds. These measurements are used to determine aerosol optical depth. GAMS operates across 1024 spectral channels spanning 430 to 1030 nm and acquires data at 180 Hz. LAABS operates across more than 800 channels in the 759 to 771 nm range at a resolution of about 0.035 nm, with an integration time of 1.5 seconds.
