Abstract. We present a novel airborne imaging differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) instrument: Ultraviolet Visible Hyperspectral Imaging Spectrometer (UVHIS), which is developed for trace gas monitoring and pollution mapping. Within a broad spectral range from 200 to 500 nm, operated in three channels, the spectral resolution of UVHIS is better than 0.5 nm. The optical design of each channel comprises a fore-optics with a field of view (FOV) of 40°, an Offner imaging spectrometer, and a charge-coupled device (CCD) array detector of 1032 × 1072 pixels. A first demonstration flight using UVHIS was undertaken on 23 June 2018, above an approximate 600 km2 area in Feicheng, China, with a spatial resolution of about 25 × 22 m2. Measurements of nadir backscattered solar radiation of channel 3 are used to retrieve vertical column densities (VCDs) of NO2 with a mean fitting error of 2.6 × 1015 molec cm−2. The UVHIS instrument clearly detected several emission plumes transporting from south to north, with a peak value of 3 × 1016 molec cm−2 in the dominant one. UVHIS NO2 vertical columns are well correlated with ground-based mobile DOAS observations, with a correlation coefficient of 0.65 for all co-located measurements, and a slight underestimation for polluted observations. This study demonstrates the capability of UVHIS for NO2 local emission and transmission monitoring.

A first demonstration flight using UVHIS was conducted on 23 June 2018, above an area of approximately 600 km2 in Feicheng, China, with a spatial resolution of about 25 m×22 m. Measurements of nadir backscattered solar radiation of channel 3 are used to retrieve tropospheric vertical column densities (VCDs) of NO2 with a mean total error of 3.0×1015 molec cm−2. The UVHIS instrument clearly detected several emission plumes transporting from south to north, with a peak value of 3×1016 molec cm−2 in the dominant one. The UVHIS NO2 vertical columns are consistent with the ground-based mobile DOAS observations, with a correlation coefficient of 0.65 for all co-located measurements, a correlation coefficient of 0.86 for the co-located measurements that only circled the steel factory and a slight underestimation for the polluted observations. This study demonstrates the capability of UVHIS for NO2 local emission and transmission monitoring.

Abstract An improved Offner imaging spectrometer was proposed based on the optical system characteristics of Offner imaging spectrometer, which can ensure perfect imaging quality in a wider annular region. The operating wavelength of the improved Offner imaging spectrometer ranges from 900nm to 1700nm, and the magnification is 1. Improved Offner imaging spectrometer can be obtained by changing the meniscus lens position and further optimizing the design. The results indicate that the improved Offner imaging spectrometer can effectively improve compactness and lightweight, and reduce the difficulty of optical adjustment, which is conducive to the stability of practical application.

Abstract Based on the optical system characteristics of coded aperture snapshot spectral imager (CASSI), an optimized optical system of shortwave infrared dual camera CASSI was designed based on improved Offner-Wynne imaging spectrometer. The operating wavelength of the optical system ranges from 900nm to 1700nm, and the focal length is 1200mm. It consists of two parts: the two dimensional imaging system and the multispectral CASSI imaging system. The key technical parameters of the two parts are the same and there is no visual axis difference. Therefore, the optimized optical system can effectively improve real-time performance, optical transmittance and compactness of the dual camera shortwave infrared CASSI, which is conducive to the application in optical measurement scenes in the shooting range.

<p>In 2018 a joint ESA and NASA airborne campaign was orchestrated with the University of Zurich to advance cooperation and harmonization of algorithms and products from imaging spectrometer measurements.  This effort was intended to benefit the future candidate European Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission for the Environment (CHIME) and NASA Surface Biology and Geology mission. For this campaign, the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer Next Generation was deployed from May to July 2018.  Twenty-four study sites were measured across Germany, Italy, and Switzerland.  All measurements were rapidly calibrated, atmospherically corrected, and made available to NASA and ESA investigators.  An expanded 2021 campaign is now planned with goals to: 1) further test and evaluate new state-of-the-art science algorithms: atmospheric correction, etc; 2)  grow international science collaboration in support of ESA CHIME and NASA SBG; 3) test/demonstrate calibration, validation, and uncertainty quantification approaches;  4) collect strategic cross-comparison under flights of space missions: DESIS, PRISMA, Sentinels, etc.  In this paper, we present an overview of the key results from the 2018 campaign and plans for the 2021 campaign.</p><p> </p>
