Official Description

The AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) is a network of ground-based Sun photometers that measure atmospheric aerosol properties. The measurement system is a solar-powered CIMEL Electronique 318A spectral radiometer that measures Sun and sky radiances at a number of fixed wavelengths within the VNIR spectrum.

Placement

Place in area with best view of the sun throughout the year. Nasa will alert us if there is an issue with a particular location or if the data deteriorates.
