PSR irradiance and AOD data aquired during MAPP project

Aerosol optical depth  (AOD) and  solar irradiance data acquired   in the frame  of the JRP project MAPP, Metrology for Aerosol Optical Properties 19ENV04 with the Precision SpectroRadiometer PSR-009 (Gröbner and Kouremeti 2019).

The  calibrations  of  the  PSR-009 have been  performed  at PMOD/WRC while the  straylight  correction has  been measured  at PMOD/WRC and  PTB.

The Top-of-Atmosphere  solar spectrum  convolved  with the slit functions  of  the  PSR,  used for  the  AOD retrieval  is  stated  in  the  field  PSR.FN_ETS
