A New Method for Calibrating Reference and Field Pyranometers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple method for calibrating reference pyranometers is described. Called the alternate method, it requires monitoring of direct irradiance and diffuse and global irradiance voltages without the need for a calibrated ...
Atmospheric General Circulation Simulations with the BMRC Global Spectral Model. The Impact of Revised Physical Parameterizations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results are presented for perpetual January and July general circulation simulations using the Australian Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre global spectral model. Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of changes ...
Measurement of Broadband Diffuse Solar Irradiance Using Current Commercial Instrumentation with a Correction for Thermal Offset Errors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Diffuse-sky solar irradiance is an important quantity for radiation budget research, particularly as it relates to climate. Diffuse irradiance is one component of the total downwelling solar irradiance and contains information ...
Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN/WCRP): New Precision Radiometry for Climate Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To support climate research, the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) initiated a new radiometric network, the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN). The network aims at providing validation material for satellite ...
The Baseline Surface Radiation Network Pyrgeometer Round-Robin Calibration Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: With the aim of improving the consistency of terrestrial and atmospheric longwave radiation measurements within the Baseline Surface Radiation Network, five Eppley Precision Infrared Radiometer (PIR) pyrgeometers and one ...
