The Ground-based Multiangle SpectroPolarimetric Imager (GroundMSPI) is a ground-based pushbroom imager developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the University of Arizona. It is the ground-based version of the MSPI satellite instrument and operates similarly to its airborne counterpart (AirMSPI). GroundMSPI measures ultraviolet and visible radiance across eight spectral bands (355, 380, 445, 470, 555, 660, 865, and 935 nm). These measurements can be used to derive aerosol properties. It has a spatial resolution of 3 cm and a 0.5-degree-per-second scan rate.
