Spatial Variability study was carried out at the standard sites around Kanpur. The two Cimels capable of O’neill mode (3 minute measurements) were deployed along with four Microtops. Not much to get excited about–mostly cloudy conditions at the Cimel sites with generally more than 50% coverage. Most if not all AOD measurements (at the East site at least) would have at best thin (uniform, structureless) cirrus contamination. Both Aqua and Terra overpasses were cloudy here.
Brent is back in Varanasi after fixing the Ghandi College Cimel.
Google Earth misidentifies Lucknow road which can lead to significant confusion for measurements east of Kanpur. Lucknow Road is actually about 5km SE of where it is shown. A good point to emphasize for the northern site on the next Center overpass.
