This high-precision photometer for observing networks measures the optical properties of the atmosphere ( sun, sky, moon and soil reflectance) and provides quantification and physical-optical characterization of the aerosols.Due to its very low power consumption (MicroAmps®) technology, to its self-powered system and to its most rugged design , the CE318 fully meets the operational requirements of continuous monitoring in terms of reliability, long lifetime and very low maintenance cost .The CE318 photometer technology is constantly enhanced to match the new technological challenges for climate observation and monitoring . The "Cimel" is still the benchmark device for most aerosol observing networks and more specifically for the international federation of AERONET networks.
APPLICATIONS
The CE318 carries out raw measurements according to automatic standardized patterns: sun and sky radiance on several bands as well at day time as night time (CE318-U LUNAR) Raw measurements can be automatically post processed to obtain several atmospheric parameters like aerosols size distribution and their optical properties as well as vapour water quantity.
The large range of produced parameters makes the CE318 photometer a worlwide benchmark device for the following applications:
Characterization and quantification of aerosols
Satellite calibration of aerosol measurements
Detection of volcanic ashes plumes in real time
Determination of Aerosol Optical Depth
Determination of fine mode and coarce mode AODs
Determination of the optical properties of the atmosphere for satellite imaging
Determination of the ocean's color
Determination of the amount of precipitable water
Air quality monitoring
MICROAMPS® TECHNOLOGY
The CE318 photometer has been designed using all the MicroAmps® technologies that are specific to Cimel, in accordance to very demanding yet complementary requirements:
Minimize electrical power consumption
Use secure, highly redundant communications protocols
Maximize the versatility of printed circuit boards
Minimize the number of connectors
These MicroAmps® technologies result in CE318 photometer exceptional performances widely proven under any sort of climate, in terms of operating reliability
