Application of oxygen A-band equivalent width to disambiguate downwelling radiances for cloud optical depth measurement

This paper presents the three-waveband spectrally agile technique (TWST) for measuring cloud optical depth (COD). TWST is a portable field-proven sensor and retrieval method offering a unique combination of fast (1 Hz) cloud-resolving (0.5° field of view) real-time-reported COD measurements. It enta...
