Alternate Title: Sun-sky Radiometer

Brief Description (Abstract):

The Sun-sky Radiometer is a multi-channel, automatic sun-and-sky scanning radiometer that measures the direct solar irradiance and sky radiance at the Earthâs surface. Measurements are taken at pre-determined discrete wavelengths in the visible and near-IR parts of the spectrum to determine atmospheric transmission and scattering properties. It takes measurements only during daylight hours (sun above horizon).

Status: Ongoing

Purpose: To study the column integrated aerosol optical properties at different wavelengths.
