Unpolarized Cloud top reflectance
- Cloudbow Measurements for Accurate Effective
Radii and variance - should provide effective radius retrievals at
least one order of magnitude more accurate than
current methods, in addition to unprecedented
measurements of the width of the droplet
distribution.

CLAIM-3D options beyond ESSP
- CLAIM-3D rainbow telescope is a new concept with
great potential for instrument of opportunity
in many other missions. - small, light, and low cost instrument with strong
science potential. - CLAIM-3D met other NASA Centers to discuss a
broader concept for the measurement of aerosol
and clouds AEGIS/CLAIM 3D concept aircraft
concept will be submitted to Roses. - JPL MSPI imaging polarimeter
- Langley Aerosol Lidar
- GSFC Cloud Scanner System (same as CLAIM-3D)
- Notice Our most important strengths are in areas
not covered by JPL - Thermal wavelengths, Pointing capability cloud
side measurements, Rainbow measurements - NASA/CNRS/ESA Concept
- GSFC CLAIM-3D
- CNRS Advanced Polder
- ESA Lidar
- NASA ESA cost sharing spacecraft and Launch
