Location: North-eastern flank of Cleveland volcano, Alaska
Installation Date: September 2022 (AVERT project)
Instrumentation:
- Calibir GXM 640 camera (Teledyne DALSA)
- GigE Vision interface for input/output
- Array of lenses with variable fields-of-view
- Non-radiometric camera providing 640-by-480 pixels resolution
- Germanium window mounted in 3-D printed part for weather-seal
Data Collection:
