abstract = {Atmospheric O3 → O(1D) photolysis frequencies
j(O1D) are crucial parameters for atmospheric photochemistry
because of their importance for primary OH formation. Filter
radiometers have been used for many years for in situ field
measurements of j(O1D). Typically the relationship between
the output of the instruments and j(O1D) is non-linear
because of changes in the shape of the solar spectrum
dependent on solar zenith angles and total ozone columns.
These non-linearities can be compensated for by a correction
method based on laboratory measurements of the spectral
sensitivity of the filter radiometer and simulated solar
actinic flux density spectra. Although this correction is
routinely applied, the results of a previous field
comparison study of several filter radiometers revealed that
some corrections were inadequate. In this work the spectral
characterisations of seven instruments were revised, and the
correction procedures were updated and harmonised
considering recent recommendations of absorption cross
sections and quantum yields of the photolysis process
O3 → O(1D). Previous inconsistencies were largely
removed using these procedures. In addition, optical
interference filters were replaced to improve the spectral
properties of the instruments. Successive determinations of
spectral sensitivities and field comparisons of the modified
instruments with a spectroradiometer reference confirmed the
improved performance. Overall, filter radiometers remain a
low-maintenance alternative of spectroradiometers for
accurate measurements of j(O1D) provided their spectral
properties are known and potential drifts in sensitivities
are monitored by regular calibrations with standard lamps or
reference instruments.},
