Improving Langley calibrations by reducing diurnal variations of aerosol Ångström parameters

Errors in the sun photometer calibration constant lead to artificial diurnal variations, symmetric around solar noon, of the retrieved aerosol optical depth (AOD) and the associated Ångström exponent α and its curvature γ. We show in simulations that within the uncertaint...
