Albedometers
Autonomous measurements can be acquired of both upwelling and downwelling energy via the dual sphere, snow albedometer designed and manufactured for use in the Antarctic.
Lofted by balloon
Land use, forestry and agricultural applications often require averaging larger sample areas in order to align with satellite data. Elevating the instrument via UAV or balloon provides this perspective.
Goniometers
Naval Research Lab (NRL) Goniometer
SVC provided the revolutionary goniometer system and spectroradiometer under contract to the Naval Research Laboratory. The system nicknamed the “GOPHER” has been used for many research projects in United States and Australia.
NASA Goniometer
Based on the original FIGOS goniometer, NASA Stennis purchased one of the early GER 3700 instruments for inclusion into their portable goniometer system. NASA AMES Research assisted in the integration of the instrument and goniometer
FIGOS Goniometer
One of the earliest field transportable goniometers was designed by scientists at the University of Zurich Remote Sensing Laboratory and incorporated the GER 3700 spectroradiometer. Members of the SVC team worked in support of this early goniometer system integration.
