Askole Global radiation

At Askole Station, a CM6B Pyranometer was installed. This sensor is manufactured by Kipp&Zonen (The Netherlands) company. The CM6B Pyranometer is suitable for the routine measurement of incoming global solar radiation (0.3 to 2.8 µm spectral range), diffuse sky irradiance measurements, and surface reflected solar radiation measurement research.

Statement

The solar radiation received from a solid angle of 2p sr on a horizontal surface is referred to as global radiation.

This includes radiation received directly from the solid angle of the sun’s disc, as well as diffuse sky radiation that has been scattered in traversing the atmosphere.

The instrument needed for measuring solar radiation from a solid angle of 2 pi sr into a plane surface and a spectral range from 300 to 3 000 nm is the pyranometer. The pyranometer is sometimes used to measure solar radiation on surfaces inclined in the horizontal and in the inverted position to measure reflected global radiation. When measuring the diffuse sky component of solar radiation, the direct solar component is screened from the pyranometer by a shading device.
