title: PFR AOD and solar irradiance data aquired during the MAPP project.

description: Aerosol optical depth and solar irradiance data acquired in the frame of the JRP project MAPP, Metrology for Aerosol Optical Properties 19ENV04 with the Precision FilterRadiometer PFR-98-N-001. Monitoring period at Davos, 2021 -2022 Rome Campaign – Sep.2021 Izaña Campaign -Sep.2022 for the dataset of version 1.0 the calibration of the PFR is against the PFR-Triad has been used. For the SI-traceable AOD retrieval the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany) calibration (Kouremeti, Nevas et al. 2022) has been used in combination with QASUMEFTS (Gröbner, Kröger et al. 2017) for 368 nm and 412 nm, and TSIS-1 (Coddington, Richard et al. 2021) for 501 nm and 862 nm. <strong>Calibration Record </strong> The calibration record given as Top-of-Atmosphere PFR signal (<em>V<sub>0</sub></em>) and the expanded combined uncertainty of <em>V<sub>0</sub></em> (<em>U) </em>are given in the following table in Volts . <strong>PFR-TRIAD (2021)</strong> <strong>PTB</strong> <strong>Langley Izaña</strong> <em>V<sub>0 </sub></em>(V) <strong><em>U </em></strong>(V) <em>V<sub>0 </sub></em>(V) <strong><em>U </em></strong>(V) <em>V<sub>0 </sub></em>(V) <strong><em>U </em></strong>(V) 862nm 3.380 0.017 3.3602 0.006 3.376 0.003 501nm 3.717 0.010 3.7326 0.006 3.712 0.004 412nm 3.503 0.010 3.5368 0.010 3.493 0.005 368nm 4.011 0.012 4.0438 0.026 4.006 0.007 <strong>Data description</strong> The data are daily files in matlab table format (table name PFR) The table contains 5 variables: 'Station' , 'Instrument' , 'Date' , 'Data' , 'MetaData_Flags' The variables of each sub-table and theirs units can be seen using e.g. the following : PFR.Data{1}.Properties.VariableNames, PFR.Data{1}.Properties.VariableUnits The signal, irradiance and atmospheric transmittance have been corrected for the Sun-Earth distance and are given at 1AU. <em>Measurements, calibration and aanlysis performed by NK </em> <strong>References </strong> Coddington, O.
