We used parallel sunshine duration datasets obtained with a Jordan sunshine recorder and three automatic sunshine duration sensors to investigate the differences between these instruments.We used measurements obtained...
Using the temperature compensation and structure optimization design technology,developed the TBQ-2-B type standard pyranometer on the original pyranometer basis,its stability is better than 2%,reached the internation...

Directional response is one of the most important parameters of pyranometer,which is crucial to evaluate the performance of the pyranometer by determining the responsivityand the corresponding radiation for solar beam...
Shortwave radiometers such as pyranometers, pyrheliometers, and photovoltaic cells are calibrated with traceability to consensus reference, maintained by Absolute Cavity Radiometers (ACRs). The ACR is an open cavity w...
Clouds affect the climate by positive and negative feedback. To study these effects at local scale, a radiation station was set up, which used two CM21 Kipp & Zonen pyranometers (one inverted), and two CG1 Kipp & ...

Due to the existence of thermal offsets,global solar irradiances measured by pyranometers are smaller than actual values,and errors are larger in the daytime.Until now,there is no universally-recognized correction met...
