Abstract :
The application of a hyperspectral camera to the analysis of aerosol optical property is described. As compared with conventional instruments such as a skyradiometer, imaging measurement is advantageous because of its capability of obtaining spatial distribution of scattered solar radiation with exact identification of the solar disk position in an image. In particular, it has been demonstrated that the aureole information is useful for constraining aerosol properties.
