CE318-TS9 automatic solar photometer

CE318-TS9 automatic solar photometerUsed for global climate change monitoring, atmospheric and environmental monitoring, aerosol optical thickness, atmospheric turbidity measurement, particle spectrum distribution, aerosol physics and optical properties research, satellite calibration and radiation correction, and peak air pollution forecasting.

Product Introduction

High precision fully automatic multi band photometer for network measurementCE318-TS9 automatic solar photometerIt reflects the optical properties of the atmosphere by observing the reflection of the sun, sky, moon, and ground. It is a photometer that can be observed both during the day and at night, providing quantitative and physical optical property data of aerosols. Due to its low energy consumption, self powering, and robust design, reliability, long lifespan, and low maintenance costs can meet the needs of continuous monitoring. The instrument was developed for NASA in 1992 and has been continuously improved to meet the growing demands of AERONET (AErosol ROBOTIC NETwork). AERONET is a global joint network for aerosol measurement, jointly operated by NASA. Other independent networks such as PHOTONS in France, AEROCAN in Canada, RIMA in Spain, AGSNET in Australia, CARSNET in China, and SONET are all running CE318.
