HG-SolarScan
Automated Sun Photometer
Multi-Band Direct Solar Radiation Observation · Aerosol Optical Depth Inversion · Automated Tracking System
A ground-based solar radiation observation system engineered for atmospheric environmental monitoring and climate research, achieving long-term automated observation of aerosols and atmospheric optical parameters.
Product Introduction
The HG-SolarScan Automated Sun Photometer is a ground-based remote sensing instrument specifically designed for long-term continuous observation of atmospheric aerosol optical characteristics. Operating autonomously under unattended conditions, the device automatically tracks the sun to complete multi-band solar radiation measurements and performs inversions for critical parameters such as Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), water vapor content, and atmospheric turbidity. Integrating an automated solar tracking mechanism with a multi-channel filter measurement assembly, the system delivers all-weather autonomous operation and remains highly stable during extended field deployments. By executing continuous collection of direct solar radiation and utilizing atmospheric modeling for data inversion analysis, it supports long-term atmospheric environmental monitoring and climate change research, meeting the strict requirements of atmospheric monitoring networks, meteorological observation systems, and climate research stations.
