Thus, there is no need for the co-alignment of two separate imagers with different distortions, sharpness, and FOV.\r\n\r\nThe patent pending AisaFENIX images the target in 380 - 2500nm spectral region through single front optics and single input slit, keeping all wavebands spatially, co-registered, independent of the distance to the target. AisaFENIX employs Specim's patent pending 'single optics dual channel imaging spectrograph' which, in spite of the single input slit, has two diffraction gratings, one optimised for VNIR and the second for SWIR region. Also, two focal plane arrays (FPA), a state of the art CMOS and cryogenically cooled Mercury Telluride Cadmium (MCT), are employed in order to maximise sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the VNIR and SWIR spectral region.\r\n\r\nThe AsiaFENIX is operated by NERC-ARF on board the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Twin-Otter aircraft (Pre 2016 it was operated on board the NERC ARSF Dornier Do228-101 D-CALM Aircraft)" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 24671, "uuid": "f2e6be7582cd4ac49d8ac3bcb7eb2f8a", "short_code": "acq", "title": "ARSF 2015_175b - EUFAR ISOTHERM/EUFAR15_28 Flight: data acquisition details", "abstract": "ARSF 2015_175b - EUFAR ISOTHERM/EUFAR15_28 Flight data acquisition details." } }, { "ob_id": 11221, "platform": { "ob_id": 6394, "uuid": "d2c5c36981824b71a98a2906394d61f3", "short_code": "plat", "title": "NERC ARSF Dornier Do228-101 D-CALM Aircraft", "abstract": "NERC leased Dornier 228 twin prop converted airliner\r\n\r\nDornier 228 D-CALM is a medium tropospheric research aircraft operated by NERC, UK.

It is situated on the North Norfolk coast (52°57’02’’N, 1°07’19’’E, 15 m asl). Weybourne is operated by the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA) having been established in 1992 by Professor Stuart Penkett (retired 2004) with funding from BP (Norway) plc and NERC. Subsequently, long term monitoring and campaigns have been supported through numerous projects funded by NERC, Department of the Environment (DoE, Defra) and the EU. NCAS has also supported the site since 2002. Much of the instrumentation has come from HEFCE JIF and SRIF funds.\r\n\r\nWeybourne’s location means that it experiences air with a wide range of pollution levels. Predominant south-westerlies bring polluted air from the UK (including from London and the Midlands). At times, especially in anticyclonic conditions, Weybourne experiences polluted air from Europe. Weybourne can also receive clean background air in northerly air flow. This can be impacted by narrow pollution plumes from shipping in the N. Sea, and potentially gas platforms. Many successful campaigns have been hosted at Weybourne to examine oxidizing capacity, organic chemistry, carbonaceous particles, night-time chemistry and cloud impacts on radiation. In addition to the permanent building (see photo) there is adequate power and space to support instrumented mobile labs and containers. The site is also used by the wider community for instrument testing." }, "instrument": { "ob_id": 15415, "uuid": "02b5230cf5e8409abac700eee58dda79", "short_code": "instr", "title": "New Instrument: man-cims", "abstract": "New instrument created, more details to follow for instrument man-cims" }, "relatedTo": { "ob_id": 24948, "uuid": "0f8731f7a2294f19a145bfcad233def0", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Measurements of N2O5, ClNO2, HCOOH, HNO3 and HCN at the Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory", "abstract": "Measurements of N2O5, ClNO2, HCOOH, HNO3 and HCN at the Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory" } } ] }, { "ob_id": 24963, "uuid": "2e54960007734be4a8e5a8780a44ea4f", "short_code": "acq", "title": "Vaisala Cl31 Ceilometer at Knock Airport", "abstract": "Vaisala Cl31 Ceilometer deployed at Knock Airport as part of the Met Éireann's LIDARNET network.", "imageDetails": [ 150 ], "mobilePlatformOperation": [], "independentInstrument": [], "instrumentplatformpair_set": [ { "ob_id": 11300, "platform": { "ob_id": 24964, "uuid": "97ada28c616a41f18be7e5ccd1a90837", "short_code": "plat", "title": "Met Éireann Knock Airport meteorological station", "abstract": "Ireland West Airport Knock (IATA: NOC, ICAO: EIKN) (Irish: Aerfort Iarthar Éireann Chnoc Mhuire) is an airport 5.6 km (3.5 miles) south-west of Charlestown, County Mayo, north-west Ireland.
