Spectral and broadband solar and infrared sensors
Copyright: Josephin Beer
Observations of solar and infrared radiation at the surface are vital to understand the surface energy fluxes and the influence of clouds and precipitation on the energy balance. The instruments operated at JOYCE-CF include broadband as well as spectrally resolved sensors.

JOYCE-CF data products include comprehensive observations on the whole life cycle of clouds and precipitation. Besides single instrument observations, the main focus lies on synergetic products based on several observation methods, especially for classification of precipitation, clouds and boundary layer structure. Most datasets are available 24/7 and also raw data can be accessed on request.
