NCO_P_2006_03-2007_02_lev20_AOT

At the end of March 2006 a Cimel CE-318 sunphotometer was installed. It provides a characterization of aerosol optical and microphysical properties of the air column above the station. These measurements allow to follow the time evolution of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) at eight wavelengths, plus other properties as single scattering albedo (SSA, fundamental in computing the aerosol effects on solar radiation), particle size distribution (SD, fundamental in assessing the ABC effects on formation and lifetime of water vapor clouds) and refractive index.
