Comparative measurements of total ozone amount and aerosol optical depth during a campaign at El Arenosillo, Huelva, Spain
A one week field campaign took place in September 2002 at El Arenosillo, Spain. The objective was to compare total ozone column (<I>TOC</I>) and aerosol optical depth (<I>AOD</I>) from near ultraviolet to near infrared, measured by several Spanish and French instruments. Three spectroradiometers, Brewer, SPUV02, and LICOR, and a CIMEL photometer, have been used simultaneously and the results are presented for four clear days. <I>TOC</I> values are given by the Brewer instrument, and by SPUV02, using two different methods. The ground instruments compare satisfactorily (within 5&nbsp;DU) and the values are consistent with TOMS data (within 10&nbsp;DU). <P style="line-height: 20px;"> <I>AOD</I> from the various instruments are compared at seven different wavelengths between 320 nm and 1020 nm: the agreement is very good at 350, 380, and 870 nm; at the four other wavelengths the difference is smaller than 0.03, which can be explained by a relative difference of 4% only between the calibrations of the various instruments. Larger <I>AOD</I> diurnal variations were observed at short wavelengths than in the visible and near infrared; this is most likely due to changes in aerosol size along the day, during the campaign

Comparative measurements of total ozone amount and aerosol optical depth during a campaign at El Arenosillo, Huelva, Spain
A one week field campaign took place in September 2002 at El
Arenosillo, Spain. The objective was to compare total ozone column (TOC) and
aerosol optical depth (AOD) from near ultraviolet to near infrared, measured
by several Spanish and French instruments. Three spectroradiometers, Brewer,
SPUV02, and LICOR, and a CIMEL photometer, have been used simultaneously and
the results are presented for four clear days.
TOC values are given by the Brewer instrument, and by SPUV02, using two
different methods. The ground instruments compare satisfactorily (within
5 DU) and the values are consistent with TOMS data (within 10 DU).
AOD from the various instruments are compared at seven different wavelengths
between 320 nm and 1020 nm: the agreement is very good at 350, 380, and 870 nm;
at the four other wavelengths the difference is smaller than 0.03,
which can be explained by a relative difference of 4% only between the
calibrations of the various instruments.
Larger AOD diurnal variations were observed at short wavelengths than in the
visible and near infrared; this is most likely due to changes in aerosol
size along the day, during the campaign
