Welcome to the European Skynet Radiometers network website!
The ESR network
The Euroskyrad or ESR network was established in 2010 as a free collaborative platform among scientists involved with studies of aerosol remote sensing by means of sun-sky radiometers.
Representatives of ESR are Dr. Monica Campanelli from the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, CNR, Rome, Italy and Dr. Victor Estelles from the University of Valencia, Spain.
ESR is a volunteer European observational network of Prede POM sun sky radiometers and one of the Regional SKYNET subnetworks, maintained by several universities and research institutes.
ESR, as regional SKYNET subnework, is dedicated to the development of new products and therefore it is also a "multi-instrumental" network, as radiometers other than Prede POM (such as Cimel CE318 or others) can also take part.
The ESR website is organized as follows:
-
OBJECTIVES
