Calculating direct normal irradiance from sun photometer measurements [PDF]
, 2016 Abstract. An alternative method to modeling is proposed for determining direct normal irradiance from sun photometer measurements. Direct normal irradiance is calculated by integration of the sun photometer spectral irradiance measurements. Using pre and post calibration spectral coefficients and the extraterrestrial spectral irradiances at each filter

Handheld Sun Photometer Measurements from Light Aircraft*
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2007 Abstract Handheld sun photometers are typically used to make aerosol optical depth measurements while on the ground. Various investigators, in unrelated efforts, have used handheld sun photometers to make aerosol optical depth measurements from light aircraft, but the strengths and weakness of this approach have not been characterized ...
