Abstract
The Cloud Absorption Radiometer (CAR) Science Team, and the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) recently announced the release of CAR data for multiple scientific missions. These data sets consist of measurements of spectral radiance acquired by the CAR instrument. The CAR has been deployed on research aircrafts during numerous field campaigns around the world, with measurements spanning from years 1991 to 2017. These data may be used to evaluate the ability of analytical models to reproduce observed directional signatures and to develop bidirectional reflectance-distribution function (BRDF) models that are suitable for sub-kilometer- scale satellite observations over both homogeneous and heterogeneous landscape types around the world. All of the data are now public and accessible in netCDF-4 format. The full suite of CAR data products are available at the GES DISC. (https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/datasets?keywords=CAR).
