Clouds provide valuable information for weather prediction and climate studies, in particular for precipitation, atmospheric circulation and surface radiation.<\/p>\n
Yet they remain intricate creatures, because of the complexity of their formation, structure and dynamics. Reuniwatt has developed innovative solutions to observe clouds from above and below.<\/p>\n
Reuniwatt developed and manufactures Sky Insight, a unique thermal infrared sky imager for continous and high-resolution observation of the atmosphere at a specific site, whose key features are:<\/p>\n
24\/7 observation<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Cloud fraction, cloud-base height and cloud optical depth<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Cloud type classification<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Rain and fog detection<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Circumsolar detection<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Local irradiance mapping<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>
<\/p>\n
Sky InSight™ placed at NOAA’s Table Mountain facility in Boulder, Colorado, as part of the Cloud Properties Experiment<\/a> (CPEX) in 2018.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
