 :   Identification   number   of   the   photometer   it   produced   data   found   in   this

folder.

0002_10

 : Folder of raw data of #0002 photometer. We used Aeronet nomination :

10 that is 1.0 for raw data. We never rewrite data in this folder, except during
photometer data downloading.

1.0 = Raw data (digital light flux + AOT computed onboard the photometer ).

1.5 = Unpleased data are deleted (Clouds, wrong pointage, manual filtering, etc ).

2.0 = New computed AOT with new calibration parameters from a the last calibration campaign.
