Aerosol optical properties by means of a sunphotometer and LIDAR system in Buenos Aires Argentina. Propiedades ópticas de aerosoles medidas con un fotómetro solar y un sistema LIDAR en Buenos Aires, Argentina

A sunphotometer from AERONET network and a multiwavelength LIDAR system were employed to obtain the diurnal aerosol optical thickness from UV up to the near IR spectral region.Tropospheric aerosol optical properties were measured at the same time by two collocated systems at CEILAP in the Buenos Aires suburbs. Aerosol profiling capabilities from the LIDAR were reinforced by the use of the sunphotometer to solve the uncertainties in the LIDAR equation.
