The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) in the UK has selected the ST-5 Sun Tracker in conjunction with the SolarSIM-D2 for their long-term measurements in Iceland. Deployed alongside a range of laser remote sensing instruments: Scanning Doppler lidar, Laser Ceilometer, and surface meteorological sensors the Spectrafy system will help determine the impact of volcanic emissions and resuspension events. Specifically the measurements will be assimilated into dispersal models that aid civil and aviation hazard forecasting.
