Daytime extinction

We aim at providing a database of diurnal atmospheric extinction data measured using the instrument MARK-I, located at the Observatorio del Teide.  Mark-I is a full disk resonant scattering spectrometer providing radial velocity measurements of the Sun at the Potassium KI 769.9 nm line, primarily used to study the solar seismology.  Since it is continuously […]
