The mission will carry one hyperspectral radiometer (OCI) and two multi-angle polarimeters (HARP2 and SPEXone). The Hyper-Angular Rainbow Polarimeter #2 (HARP2) instrument is a wide angle imaging polarimeter designed to measure aerosol particles and clouds, as well as properties of land and water surfaces. HARP2 will combine data from multiple along-track viewing angles (up to 60), four spectral bands in the visible and near infrared ranges, and three angles of linear polarization to measure the microphysical properties of the atmospheric particles including their size distribution, amount, refractive indices and particle shape. language code: en);
