This project presents an all-sky cloud monitoring device based on a compact industrial infrared camera. A downward-facing camera observes a convex safety mirror coated with Al + SiO2, enabling thermal observation of the clouds. Such thermal observation, combined with ground-level temperature measurement, allows for cloud base height estimation.

Muons created in extensive air showers in the lower atmosphere can leave ring-like traces in the images recorded by imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs). These traces can be used to monitor the optical throughput of an IACT via the so-called muon efficiency, a parameter calculated from the radius and brightness of these ring-like traces.

The Angstrom coefficient characterises the wavelength dependence of aerosol extinction and allows the vertical aerosol optical depth (VAOD) measured in one waveband to be extrapolated to others. We determine the Angstrom coefficient using the FRAM (F/Photometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor) telescopes — small robotic instruments designed for wide-field stellar photometry, currently deployed at...

We present KODIAK (Kolmogorov Observations of Dynamic In-situ Atmospheric Kinematics), a low-SWaP-C atmospheric characterisation instrument that provides high-resolution, in-situ measurements of turbulence, aerosol and molecular composition, and optical transparency. Designed primarily as a UAV-integrated payload, KODIAK enables rapid and flexible atmospheric profiling in environments...
