The Scanning Spectral Polarimeter (SSP) is an airborne polarimeter developed by Colorado State University. It uses a rotating optical bandpass filter to measure spectral radiance and fluxes across the 400 to 4000 nm wavelength range. These measurements help to determine cloud optical and microphysical properties. SSP has an accuracy of about 3% and a field of view of 20 mrad.
