CHRIS/PROBA
Mission : Agriculture and soils
The main objective of the land studies is
to derive estimates of land surface biochemical and biophysical
properties. Measurements of atmospheric optical properties
will be acquired using a CIMEL sun photometer wich will provide
information on the atmospheric phase function that is required
to estimate surface biophysical properties from the CHRIS
data. |

CARTEL
spectroradiometric laboratory
The spectroradiometric laboratory at CARTEL,
which is unique in Canada, manages and maintains a wide range
of measuring instruments for the more fundamental aspects
of research. Among the available instruments we find a visible
and near infrared multiband radiometer CIMEL CE 310, a multiband
radiometer (CIMEL CE 312-2) and solar radiometers (SONOTEK,
MICROTOPS, CIMEL CE 318). |

EOS
Land Validation Core Site #16: Sevilleta
This site is located in New Mexico, overlapping
the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge. The focus of research
conducted on the Sevilleta LTER is the examination of the
long-term changes in ecosystem attributes in response to natural
and human change. The Cimel sun photometer measures aerosol
optical thickness, water vapor amounts, ozone levels, particle
size distribution, aerosol scattering, phase function, and
single scattering albedo while the CIMEL datalogger directs
the data collection and storage. |

Radiative
Transfer in the UV: Influence of aerosols and cloudiness
The aim of the project "Radiative Transfer
in the UV: Influence of aerosols and cloudiness" is the
construction of a partly automatic station for measuring UV-radiation
and significant parameters influencing radiative transfer
(Ozone and NO2-content, aerosol-optical characteristics) at
an alpine station. Aerosol-optical characteristics like optical
depth, size distribution or phase function are measured with
a CIMEL sun-photometer (CE 318.2) within the worldwide aerosol-network
AERONET. |

CSIRO
Terrestrial Instruments
One of the aims of the CSIRO Earth Observation
Centre is to demonstrate best practice in the application
of space-based remotely sensed data over the terrestrial surface.
This involves a considerable investment in calibration and
validation of those data by making appropriate on-ground or
low-altitude airborne measurements. Among the intruments available
there is the Cimel sun photometer which measures sun and sky
radiance in order to derive total column water vapor, ozone
and aerosols properties using a combination of spectral filters
and azimuth/zenith viewing controlled by a microprocessor. |

Aqua
Alta Platform
The Aqua Alta Research Platform is operated
by the Oceanographic Division of the Istituto per lo Studio
della Dinamica delle Grandi Masse (ISDGM). The platform is
located about 12 nautical miles east of Venice, in the Adriatic
Sea. The aerosol optical depth it is monitored with a CIMEL
automated radiometer in the spectral range 440-1020 nm. Data
from the CIMEL are available over the AERONET (AErosol RObotic
NETwork). |
