Sources of variance of downwelling irradiance in water.
The downwelling irradiance in water is highly variable due to the focusing and defocusing of sunlight and skylight by the wave-modulated water surface. While the time scales and intensity variations caused by wave focusing are well studied, little is known about the induced spectral variability. Also, the impact of variations of sensor depth and inclination during the measurement on spectral ir...
متن کاملAnalytic model for the direct and diffuse components of downwelling spectral irradiance in water.
The direct and diffuse components of downwelling irradiance have in general different path lengths in water, and hence they decrease differently with sensor depth. Furthermore, the ever-changing geometry of a wind-roughened and wave-modulated water surface induces uncorrelated intensity changes to these components. To cope with both effects, an analytic model of the downwelling irradiance in wa...
متن کاملCDOM retrieval using measurements of downwelling irradiance [8888-17]
As it can strongly influence the availability of light and thus primary production, coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) affects the function of lake ecosystems. Therefore reliable methods are required for the monitoring of CDOM concentration. A new method using downwelling irradiance was tested for applicability in four selected lakes of the Bavarian Osterseen Lake District, which consists...
متن کاملA model for the diffuse attenuation coefficient of downwelling irradiance
[1] The diffuse attenuation coefficient for downwelling irradiance (Kd) is an important parameter for ocean studies. For the vast ocean the only feasible means to get fine-scale measurements of Kd is by ocean color remote sensing. At present, values of Kd from remote sensing are estimated using empirical algorithms. Such an approach is insufficient to provide an understanding regarding the vari...
متن کاملValidation of the Surface Downwelling Solar Irradiance Estimates of the HelioClim-3 Database in Egypt
HelioClim-3 (HC3) is a database providing time series of the surface downwelling solar irradiance that are computed from images of the Meteosat satellites. This paper presents the validation results of the hourly global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and direct normal irradiance (DNI), i.e., beam irradiance at normal incidence, of versions four and five of HC3 at seven Egyptian sites. The validati...
