Airborne sun photometer PLASMA: concept, measurements, comparison of aerosol extinction vertical profile with lidar

A 15-channel airborne sun-tracking photometer has been developed. The instrument provides aerosol optical depths over a wide spectral range (0.34–2.25 μm) with an accuracy (ΔAOD) of approximately 0.01. Taking measurements at different altitudes allow us to derive the aerosol extinct...
