AIR-POLLUTION MONITORING WITH A PASSIVE PYRHEOLIOMETRIC SCANNER

This paper describes a system called Passive Pyrheliometric Scanner wh ich automatically tracks the solar disc and spectrally records the sol ar radiation in the wavelength range 200-1000 nm. From such records at mospheric optics parameters can be estimated and determination of the total column in the atmosphere of some atmospheric constituents can be made. Some preliminary results are given and discussion about the app licability of this system to life quality in the Mediterranean region is made.
