POM-01

The POM-01 sky radiometer uses a single detector and a rotating filter wheel to measure radiation in seven narrow wavebands from 315 nm to 1020 nm. The dedicated sun tracker enables measurement either directly from the sun or at user-defined angles away from the sun.

Key features

Direct solar measurements using an integrated solar tracker
Diffuse and scattered measurements by programmed sky scans
Active sun sensor tracking correction

The instrument has a base with levelling feet and a sun sensor for active tracking. Installation is quick and simple. A precipitation sensor is included so that the radiometer is pointed downwards during rain to keep the optics clean.

POM-01 must be connected to a PC running the operating software in order to make measurements and store data. The software allows comprehensive user selection of the scanning modes.

POM-01 is used in the Asia-Pacific SKYNET network and for aerosol monitoring and satellite ground-truthing around the world. The POM data can be post-processed to provide parameters including aerosol optical depth, scattering coefficients, aerosol distribution and energy distribution.
