Abstract Ground-based, optical monitoring of the NO2 column density and aerosol optical thickness is described. The instrument consists of a solar radiation spectrometer and a conventional sunphotometer, both mounted on a sun-tracker and operated automatically. From daytime measurements in Chiba during the winter of 1998, variations of NO2 and aerosol are analyzed. Because of the capability of simultaneous, real time measurement, this method is particularly suitable for air pollution studies in city areas.
