Atmospheric Monitoring for the Pierre Auger Fluorescence Detector
arXiv:astro-ph/0308442
Abstract
Major uncertainties in the fluorescence energy measurement come from the precision of various atmospheric transmission, air Cerenkov subtraction, light multiple-scattering and cloud corrections. The Auger program for atmospheric monitoring, designed to measure these corrections and to minimize these uncertainties, is summarized in this paper.
