Popis: Atmospheric Radiation Measurements Enhanced Shortwave Experiment (ARESE) was conducted to study the magnitude and spectral characteristics of the absorption of solar radiation by the clear and cloudy atmosphere. Three aircraft platforms, a Grob Egrett, a NASA ER-2, and a Twin Otter, were used during ARESE in conjunction with the Atmospheric Radiation Measurements (ARM) central and extended facilities in north central Oklahoma. The aircraft were coordinated to simultaneously measure solar irradiances in the total spectral broadband (0.224-3.91 μm), near infrared broadband (0.678-3.3 μm), and in seven narrow band-pass (∼10 nm width) channels centered at 0.500, 0.862, 1.064, 1.249, 1.501, 1.651, and 1.750 μm. Instrumental calibration issues are discussed in some detail, in particular radiometric power, angular, and spectral responses. The data discussed in this paper are available at the ARM ARESE data archive via anonymous FTP to ftp.arm.gov.
