| Summary: | Regular measurements of the direct sun radiance, sky radiance in the almucantar and principal plane, and precipitable water vapour content are carried out with the sunphotometer Cimel CE-318 at the Kishinev site, Moldova. Results obtained with the sunphotometer represent a valuable supplement to the datasets with solar radiation measurements made with the multifunctional ground based radiometric complex. Monitoring of the aerosol optical properties is fulfilled in frame of the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) initiated and developed from the NASA/GSFC. Multi-years results of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) measurements made at the Kishinev site, Moldova are presented. Some results obtained during the long distance smoke transport over Kishinev from the forest and peat fires occurred in the west regions of Russia in September 2002 are analyzed. 1. |
