Paper Abstract
The design of a newly constructed high performance portable Vis-NIR multiple
wavelength sunphotometer is presented. The device measures the incoming flux of
direct solar radiation within narrow spectral intervals set by bandpass
interference filters. These intervals correspond to the main windows of the visible
and near-infrared attenuation spectrum of the atmosphere and to the selected water
vapor absorption bands. The instrument's optical features and performance are
described. It is explained why the most important parts of the device should be
carefully stabilized thermally (detector and amplifier within filters and
signal processing unit within to avoid biasing of the solar signal. The
overall accuracy of the photometer's output is derived to be better than 0.1% to
match requirements in the NIR.
