摘要：

The monitoring of atmospheric transparency plays a key role in the reconstruction of ultra high energy cosmic rays with the air fluorescence technique. A review of the instruments (LIDARs, Central Laser Facility, Aerosol Phase Function Monitor) for the detection and characterization of cloud and aerosol parameters in the Pierre Auger Observatory is given.
