Key term analysis

Aerosol optical depth (AOD): It indicates the degree of light attenuation by aerosol particles in a vertical air column. The calculation formula is:
τaero(λ)=[ln(aV0(λ)/V(λ))]/m(θ)-τR(λ)-τab(λ)
Where V(λ) is class=instrument>Sunlight meter measured signal value, m(θ) needs to be calculated through the solar zenith angle θ.

Atmospheric optical quality: Calculated using the Kasten-Young approximation formula:
m(θ)=1/[cosθ+0.15(93.885-θ)-1.253]
When θ=60°, m(θ)≈2.0


Technology evolution analysis

The 2024 version of the standard mainly reflects three major advances:

  1. Improved measurement accuracy: Added absorbing gas correction terms, especially the 936nm water vapor absorption band processing
  2. International integration: Adopted the AERONET network general algorithm (Giles et al., 2019)
  3. Application expansion: Supports aerosol particle size distribution inversion (via Ångström index α)

Implementation recommendations

Observation condition control: Strictly follow the clear sky condition, the solar zenith angle should be ≤75°

Instrument selection: It is recommended to use CE318 sun photometer (in line with QX/T270-2015 requirements)

Data processing: It is recommended to use the Langley method to calibrate V0(λ), and use OMI satellite data for the total ozone
