description abstract | A series of experimental measurements of the visible light angular transmittance profiles of clouds is described. The results for single-layer overcast clouds were found to correlate well with standard hemispheric and narrow-angle pyrheliometric transmittances. The resulting expression for the angular transmittance profile of an overcast cloud layer is ??????????????T(?)?=?A+B?sin2?, where ???????????A?=??0.0056+0.89Tn?,?and?B?=??0.028+1.09Tw, and T is the transmittance measured for a field of view at the detector subtending a half angle ? centered about the sun or other light source, Tn the transmittance measured with a narrow-angle pyrheliometer, and Tw the transmittance measured with a hemispheric pyrheliometer. | |
