As the only photometer operated by the AERONET international federation of networks since 1992, the CE318 multiband photometer is recognized as the worldwide reference for aerosol observing networks.

The latest version, the  CE318-T Sun Sky Lunar photometer, is now the only version supported by AERONET for new entering photometers.

Taking advantage of the latest technologies, it features additional communications means and easier user-friendly operation. The improved tracking and detection chain increase measurement precision and make it the only commercially available photometer to perform moon measurements and provide AODs also at nighttime.

In addtion to nighttime lunar measurements, the CE318-T version features a control unit with enhanced functionnalities and ergonomics and a robot control as well as additional communication means

Thanks to Cimel's unique ultra-low power  technology (MicroAmps®), and higly rugged designto its self-powered system and to its most rugged design, the CE318 is the ideal solution for both field campaign and log term continuous monitoring, in terms of autonomy, reliability, durability and cost effectiveness.
