Abstract
Description of the ground-based solar radiation monitoring complex is presented. Complex is equipped with the state-of-the-art solar radiation sensors, sun-tracking unit and electronics, sunphotometer, ozonometer, and automatic weather station. Total ozone content in column of atmosphere, solar broadband irradiances from UV-B to the far IR, spectral aerosol optical thickness, retrieved column integrated aerosol optical and microphysical characteristics, and main surface meteorological elements are measured at this ground station. Some preliminary results of atmosphere and solar radiation observations carried out at the ground based solar radiation station are presented.
