Aerosol vertical optical depth (ACID) and horizontal extinction coefficient (AEC) have been measured with multiwavelength photometers at University of Granada, during the period 14(th)-18(th) July 2006. The AOD tau(aer) has been measured by using an Avantes USB2000 high grating spectrometer (440-900 nm, 1.5 nm resolution); at the same moment a FieldSpec has been used to measure Horizontal Aerosol Extinction Coefficient (AEC) sigma(aer) in the range 400-700 nm, with a resolution of I nm. Both AOD and AEC were used to obtain an equivalent Aerosol scale height at different wavelength in the range 440-700 nm, according to Mie scattering theory.
