Information on the Network

Type: Broadband instruments, type Model 501 (Solar Light).

QA/QC: Every year the instruments are absolutely calibrated in Innsbruck with respect to a spectroradiometer and the spectral response function is determined in the laboratory. Calibration matrixes are applied to correspond to the changes of solar spectrum in dependence of solar heigth and total ozone content of the athmosphere.

Visualization: WHO colors

Responsible for the network: A. Prof. Dr. Mario Blumthaler
