Site Description:
  • The sunphotometer is located on top of the roof of the main building of the Met Office Camborne synoptic weather observation station. The site is located 2 miles from the coast and 10 miles from Truro, the nearest city. The station hosts two Ceilometers, a Raman Lidar and several radiation sensors. The site also performs regular radiosonde launches and hosts other meteorological instruments including a boundary layer wind profiler and GNSS water vapour sensor.
