Air-LUSI - Lunar Spectral Irradiance Data Repository: 2022 Data

In March 2022, the Air-LUSI instrument measured the lunar spectral irradiance on four nights from NASA's high-altitude ER-2 aircraft.

The data set includes data from:

1) characterization and calibration of the Air-LUSI instrument and the transfer standards used to calibrate the instrument in NetCDF format,

2) the geolocated lunar irradiance data acquired by the instrument in NetCDF format, and

3) usage examples hosted at https://github.com/usnistgov/air-lusi along with copies of the above.

If you prefer not to follow the Python workflow given at the GitHub site, a variety of tools for viewing and manipulating NetCDF files are linked to here: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/software.html
