SMART-S Calibrated alongside AERONET at Lulin AERONET Calibration Facility

Lulin, Taiwan – The NASA SMART-S instrument recently underwent calibration at the Lulin AERONET Calibration Facility, with the process overseen by Dr. Zhai Huang. SMART-S, a sophisticated instrument used for atmospheric studies, was stationed at the facility for two weeks, awaiting ideal clear-sky conditions for accurate solar calibration.

The Lulin facility, part of the AERONET global network, provided the perfect environment to cross-validate SMART-S against its well-established AERONET sun photometers. The collaboration aims to improve data accuracy and contribute to ongoing atmospheric and climate research initiatives.

With calibration successfully completed, SMART-S will now return to its mission of collecting critical data for NASA’s Earth science programs.
