An Examination of Reduction Techniques for Determining the Linke Turbidity Factor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Standard reduction techniques for the Linke turbidity factor are examined and found to yield errors of as much as 10%, resulting from a failure to recognize the importance of the wavelength sensitivities of pyrheliometers ...
The Effect of Atmospheric Attenuators with Structured Vertical Distributions on Air Mass Determinations and Langley Plot Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of vertical inhomogeneities of atmospheric attenuators upon determinations of air mass and upon Langley plot determinations of the extra-atmospheric solar irradiance is examined and found to be significant, ...
Variability of Stratospheric Water Vapor Inferred from SAGE II, HALOE, and Boulder (Colorado) Balloon Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The variability of stratospheric water vapor between 1996 and 2004 has been studied using multiyear measurements from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II (SAGE II) version 6.2 dataset, the Halogen Occultation ...
