The CE318 is the reference for automatic multispectral atmospheric photometry. Developed for the NASA in 1992, it was constantly improved to meet the growing requirements of AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork), the worldwide federation of networks dedicated to the measurement of atmospheric aerosols and federated by the NASA. Other independent networks like SKYNET, CARSNET, and SONET also operate CE318 photometers.

The CE376 is the latest compact, eyesafe backscatter LiDAR, featuring outstanding performances for the automated continuous monitoring of aerosols.

The effects of atmospheric aerosols at global scale on climate change and environmental evolution are critical for coming generations and the future of our planet. Cimel provides instrument synergies between Photometers and LiDARs through a unique monitoring software iAAMS, dedicated to the aerosols study and analysis. The obtained parameters are the characterization of aerosol types, the extinction and backscatter profile of mass concentration. Cimel’s AAMS is able to automatically locate, identify and quantify aerosols, layer by layer, day and night. It brings added values and makes the link between several existing technologies.

The CE312 IR radiometer is the benchmark precision instrument for measurements of spectral luminance in 4 to 6 thermal InfraRed bands. Thanks to differential measurement principle, it performs highly accurate radiation measurements. It is insensitive to environmental variations (temperature, radiations). The radiometer provides real time spectral luminances and brightness temperatures. The CE312 is a portable field instrument particularly suitable for thermal ground or atmosphere campaigns in the field measurements and for continuous operation with robotized pointing within an observation network.
