The goal is to formalize the methodology from determining atmospheric extinction using the multi-filter channel of SNIFS. This formalism must then be tested with Monte Carlo techniques, simulating the numbers of stars and their expected fluxes in the various bandpasses of the multi-filter channel along with variability in atmospheric parameters. The document "Flux calibration requirements" and "Extinction monitoring with LRF" on the main SNfactory page can serve as starting points.
