SCANIR

The SCANIR instrument uses Long Wave Infra Red radiation (LWIR) in order to obtain thermal images of the sky. The system operates at day and night and their images are immune to haze. Its design allows to scan all the sky, giving a coverage of 360/210 degrees, this is very useful to detect and track clouds also in the horizon without distortion and at full resolution. When detecting clouds, as it uses thermal data instead of normal cameras, the software is able to make a segmentation of the clouds based in their temperature, which correlates with their altitude.
