Description
Summary:Results of the column-integrated aerosol optical and microphysical properties measurements carried out with a sunphotometer Cimel-318 at the ground-based station over Kishinev, Moldova are presented. Station was incorporated into the globally distributed Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET), managed by NASA/GSFC. Spectral aerosol optical thicknesses (AOT) retrieved from sunphotometer measurements throughout the period of August-September 2002 are presented in comparison with the multi-year statistics of AOTs retrieved from measurements made during the period 1999-2003. August-September 2002 was characterized by intrusion of air masses with
