The Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) is a 10-channel spectroradiometer aboard NOAA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft. EPIC provides color images of the entire sunlit face of Earth at least once every two hours from 1 million miles away. EPIC's unique angular perspective makes it useful for measuring ozone, aerosols, cloud reflectivity, cloud height, vegetation properties, and UV radiation estimates at Earth's surface.
