Cimel Sunphotometer (CSPHOT): principal planes data - csphotpp

The Cimel sunphotometer (CSPHOT) is a multi-channel, automatic sun-and-sky scanning radiometer that measures the direct solar irradiance and sky radiance at the Earth s surface. It takes measurements at predetermined discrete wavelengths in the visible and near-infrared parts of the spectrum to determine atmospheric transmission and scattering properties. The CSPHOT only operates during daylight (sun above horizon).

西梅尔太阳光度计（Cimel sunphotometer，缩写CSPHOT）是一款多通道全自动太阳-天空扫描辐射计，可测量地球表面的太阳直接辐照度与天空辐亮度。该设备在光谱可见光与近红外波段的预设离散波长处开展测量，以确定大气传输与散射特性。CSPHOT仅在日间（太阳位于地平线以上）运行。
