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:
- Improved measurement accuracy: Added absorbing gas correction terms, especially the 936nm water vapor absorption band processing
- International integration: Adopted the AERONET network general algorithm (Giles et al., 2019)
- 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
