Estimating Solar Irradiance and Components
-The performance of models to estimate solar irradiance and its components is assessed using data for six Canadian stations for nine years (1968-76). Greatest emphasis is placed on a model, the MAC model, which uses cloud information from different layers. Here, effects on model estimates of using observed cloud layer opacities instead of amounts is examined because after 1976 the latter quanti...
متن کاملEstimating spectral irradiance from measurements in seven spectral bands
Accurate measurement and characterisation of fluctuations in the irradiance environment is important for many areas of optical remote sensing. This paper reports a method of estimating spectral irradiance over the VNIR region (400 1100nm) from the radiance of a calibrated reference panel, measured in seven narrow (10nm) spectral bands. Earlier work established the potential for estimating spect...
متن کاملInitial solar irradiance determinations from nimbus 7 cavity radiometer measurements.
Preliminary results from solar radiation measurements from the earth radiation budget experiment on the Nimbus 7 satellite yield a mean value of 1376.0 watts per square meter for the "solar constant" from 16 November 1978 to 15 May 1979. The observed variability (root-mean-square deviation) is +/- 0.73 watt per square meter (+/- 0.05 percent) for the period.
متن کاملThe Signature of Flares in VIRGO Total Solar Irradiance Measurements
We use Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) measurements from the VIRGO (Variability of solar IRradiance and Gravity Oscillations) instrument on board SOHO to obtain preliminary estimates of the mean total radiative energy emitted by X-class solar flares. The basic tool is that of summed-epoch analysis, which has also enabled us to detect and partially characterize systematic errors present in the basi...
متن کاملA New Look at Solar Irradiance Variation
We compare total solar irradiance (TSI) and ultraviolet (Fuv) irradiance variation reconstructed using Ca K facular areas since 1915, with previous values based on less direct proxies. Our annual means for 1925 – 1945 reach values 30 – 50 % higher than those presently used in IPCC climate studies. A high facula/sunspot area ratio in spot cycles 16 and 17 seems to be responsible. New evidence fr...
