Sky Photometer
Read more of: Sky PhotometerThe sky radiometer is an instrument that measures the extent to which light from the Sun is scattered as it travels through the Earth’s atmosphere. This allows us to calculate the size and density of the particles that are scattering the light.

Weather balloons
Read more of: Weather balloonsWeather balloons are launched four times a week and a device called a radiosonde hangs beneath the helium-filled balloon and measures temperature, pressure and humidity. From GPS we can also calculate wind speed and direction. Measurements are taken every 2 seconds and transmitted back to base.
