Description of equipment

This photometer measures the optical properties of the atmosphere by measuring solar and lunar irradiance. It provides quantification and physico-optical characterization of aerosols.
The variety of parameters that are derived and calculated from measurements and atmospheric physics equations make the CIMEL CE318-T photometer a worldwide reference device for the following laboratory applications:
• Characterization and quantification of aerosols
• Determination of the optical depth of aerosols
• Determination of fine and coarse mode AODs
• Determination of the amount of precipitable water vapor
• Air quality monitoring
• Volumetric particle size distribution
• Nature of aerosols
