Short summary
HARP2 (Hyper-Angular Rainbow Polarimeter) is a satellite remote sensing camera which was launched on the NASA PACE (Plankton Aerosol Cloud and Ocean Ecosystem) mission in early 2024. HARP2 uses image data of the Earth to allow scientists to measure natural processes. There exists interest in accurate polarimeter measurements of clouds and aerosols to understand climate change. In 2022, HARP2 underwent lab calibration evaluating its wide field-of-view characteristics. In doing so it was shown that key HARP2 calibration parameters possessed significant field-of-view variability.
