HyperSAS-POL
Hyperspectral Surface Acquisition System Polarimeter

The Hyperspectral Surface Acquisition System Polarimeter (HyperSAS-POL) is a hyperspectral radiometer developed by the Optical Remote Sensing Laboratory at City College of New York (CCNY). It is typically deployed on research vessels and water-based platforms. It collects sky and sea radiance measurements across 180 wavelengths in the 305 to 905 nm range at a single azimuthal angle. HyperSAS-POL records data every 30 minutes to produce high-resolution time series.
