The project

A sophisticated field experiment
in the city of Athens.

Based on detailed atmospheric measurements, the ASPIRE project aims to contribute on the scientific knowledge of interdisciplinary aspects that are related with solar radiation by investigating the effect of various atmospheric parameters such as clouds, aerosols, water vapor and absorbing trace gases to the Spectral Solar Irradiance (SSI) reaching the Earth’s surface.
