TL;DR: Spectral daytime aerosol optical depths have been measured at Sutherland, South Africa (32°22′S, 20°48′E), from January 1998 to November 1999, and the comparison of daytime and nighttime measurements for the years 1998-1999 makes it possible to validate the astronomical dataset of aerosol infrared depth ( τ a ) dating back to 1991 as mentioned in this paper.
