AERONET

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CIMEL sun photometer

AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) is a network of ground-based sun photometers that measure the atmospheric aerosol properties. The measuring stations consist of solar-powered CIMEL CE 318A photometers that measure direct solar radiation and sky light in several wavelengths in the visible and near-infrared spectrum.

AERONET takes continuous measurements of the spectral aerosol optical thickness , the atmospheric water vapor content and the ozone content .
