| What's SKYRAD.PACK |
| SKYRAD.PACK is a software package for analyses of sky radiometer(sun/sky photometer) data to
obtain aerosol optical properties.
This SKYRAD.PACK (version 4.2) is an upgraded version of the version 4 (2001) that is an extended successor of version 2. Improvements of this renewal package on the previous version 4 are as follows. 1. Analysis Ver.4.2 has become stable and available. 2. Detailed instructions for the package are given. 3. Data for (Improved) Langley mothod plotting are output optionally (a new function) . The following two functions of version 4 are kept alive. 1. Implementation of the Improved Langley method of Shiobara er al.(1986) to obtain accurate calibration constants for sky radiometers. 2. Retrieval of complex refractive index of aerosols by an inversion method similar to that of Dubovik et al.(2000). * Analyses of shipborne data (a function of version 4) is available only in case of small ship shaking. |
