ORNL DAAC Project Keyword Request for Air-LUSI

by ORNL - yaxingwei » Thu Aug 14, 2025 1:12 pm America/New_York

Hi,

The ORNL DAAC would like to request a new GCMD project vocabulary entry.

Type: Project
Short name: Air-LUSI
Long name: Airborne Lunar Spectral Irradiance

Description: The Airborne Lunar Spectral Irradiance (Air-LUSI) is a NASA airborne campaign to measure lunar spectral irradiance at the top of the atmosphere on NASA’s high-altitude ER-2 aircraft. The Air-LUSI instrument was developed through partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in collaboration with the University of Maryland Baltimore County, the University of Guelph, and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Air-LUSI operates across the Visible and Near Infrared (VNIR) spectral region (350-1050 nm) with a spectral resolution of 3.7 nm. It provides highly accurate (<1%) measurements of lunar irradiance that are traceable to the International Systems of Units (SI). These measurements help improve uncertainty in lunar irradiance in the exo-atmosphere to establish a lunar calibration model based on the lunar phase and geometry to calibrate satellite observations.
