Abstract

The paper presents an information system designed for processing and systematized storage of network solar photometer data. The system is developed in the Builder C++ environment and integrates individual program modules that perform the following operations: calculation of instrument functions of the photometer spectral channels and band functions of atmospheric gases transmission, calculation of aerosol optical depth parameters and total moisture content of the atmosphere, filtration of the data distorted by cloudiness, and determination, by spectral data of the atmosphere aerosol transparency, of the aerosol microstructure parameters.
