Abstract
SKYNET is an international research network of ground-based Prede sky radiometers for the observation and monitoring of aerosol–cloud–radiation interactions in the atmosphere. The algorithm developed by SKYNET is SKYRAD.pack, which can be used to process the measurement data of Prede instruments. In this study, the latest SKYRAD.pack software (Version 5.0) has been used to retrieve the aerosol optical properties measured by a SKYNET Prede sky radiometer over an urban site of Beijing, China. Continuous data have been processed over a two-year period, and inversion products, including aerosol optical depth (AOD), Angstrom exponent (α), volumes of different aerosol particle size distributions, and single-scattering albedos (SSA), have been analyzed.
