    Abstract: A system for the detection of components in a region of the atmosphere is disclosed, the system comprising a spectrometer assembly having a detector optically coupled to a optical assembly, the optical assembly receiving incident sunlight from the region of the atmosphere, the optical assembly having a field of view extending from the zenith to below the horizon; means for rotating the spectrometer assembly about a vertical axis; and a processor for receiving data from the spectrometer assembly and compiling data relating to the identity and concentration of components in the region of the atmosphere. A method of monitoring pollutants in a region of the atmosphere comprises providing a spectrometer assembly having a detector optically coupled to an optical assembly having a field of view extending from the zenith to below the horizon; exposing the spectrometer assembly to incident sunlight while rotating the spectrometer assembly about a substantially vertical axis; and processing signals received from the spectrometer assembly to analyse components in the atmosphere. The system and method are particularly useful in monitoring atmospheric pollutants arising from the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, in particular oxides of nitrogen and/or sulphur. A preferred arrangement comprises a plurality of systems disposed at spaced apart locations and having their scanned regions overlapping.

    Abstract: A system and method and for analyzing dew in a system of interest are provided. A representative method comprises receiving infrared information corresponding to a degree of polarization of dew in a particular environment, and using the degree of polarization to determine dew presence in the environment. Changes in the degree of polarization can be attributed to changes in the density, size or shadowing of the dew drops. Infrared emissions information can be detected and accumulated over a range of emission angles and over a period of time. The system compares the accumulated data for the particular environment to detect the presence of dew, the rate of growth of the dew and the change in characteristics of dew over a period of time starting from a first time interval. The system also compares the accumulated data with other previous accumulated data from the environment to detect if changes should be made to the environment.

    Abstract: To derive sunlight induced fluorescence from radiance measurements, a first radiance measurement is taken inside an atmospheric absorption band, and an additional radiance measurement is taken outside of the atmospheric absorption band. Images of sunlight-induced fluorescence are obtained with the aid of a camera. Air- or spaceborne spectrometers and image points on non-fluorescent objects are used to determine the radiance conditions on the ground and the influence of the atmosphere.
