Significant Improvements in Pyranometer Nighttime Offsets Using High-Flow, DC Ventilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: entilators are used to keep the domes of pyranometers clean and dry, but they affect the nighttime offset as well. This paper examines different ventilation strategies. For the several commercial single-black-detector ...
An Update on SURFRAD—The GCOS Surface Radiation Budget Network for the Continental United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Surface Radiation budget (SURFRAD) network was developed for the United States in the middle 1990s in response to a growing need for more sophisticated in situ surface radiation measurements to support satellite system ...
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 ...
The Shortwave Spectral Radiometer for Atmospheric Science: Capabilities and Applications from the ARM User Facility
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The maturing of ground-based solar shortwave spectral measurements at the U.S. DOE ARM User Facility facilitates progress in climate predictability by constraining cloud and aerosol radiative effects in complex ...
