Design, construction and calibration of single channel sun-photometer for study of aerosols

Aerosols are tiny liquid or solid particles suspended in the air have a strong influence on air quality, human health and climate change. Sun-photometer is a tool for measuring the optical and physical characteristics of aerosols by using sunlight at various wavelengths from the Earth surface. In th...

description Aerosols are tiny liquid or solid particles suspended in the air have a strong influence on air quality, human health and climate change. Sun-photometer is a tool for measuring the optical and physical characteristics of aerosols by using sunlight at various wavelengths from the Earth surface. In this paper, the design, construction, and calibration of a single channel sun-photometer is presented. Aerosols optical depth is amount of suspended particles in the Earth atmosphere was measured by the sun-photometer on September 5, 2016, and the results are in good agreement with the measurements of a CE 318-2 sun-photometer manufactured by the French CIMEL company.
