I parked as close to the dock as I could find level ground. I lived in the RV for the duration, keeping an eye on the dock. I have found RV's to be quite handy, and great for hauling all my stuff around to the really awful places I get sent. Kitted into three tough cases, I can set this instrument up nearly anywhere in an hour without special tools. The shadowband can be seen moving away from the Spectralon diffuser of the instrument.
Timing is everything.
View is to the south-southwest. Note the wind direction has changed. One learns patience on field deployments. I have modified this instrument considerably from its original configuration, most notably attaching the control microprocessor to the back of the radiometer head to make it a one-piece instrument. Each spherical radiance scan takes about three minutes, and contains 2664 readings at a 5 deg FOV for 8 spectral bands with 20bit dynamic range taken at five degree increments.
