The rather specialized field of solar and infrared radiation
measurement has become more and more important in the face of
growing demands by the renewable energy and climate change research
communities for data that are more accurate and have increased
temporal and spatial resolution. Updating decades of acquired
knowledge in the field, Solar and Infrared Radiation Measurements
details the strengths and weaknesses of instruments used to conduct
such solar and infrared radiation measurements. Topics covered
include: Radiometer design and performance Equipment calibration,
installation, operation, and maintenance Data quality assessment
Methods to use measured data to estimate irradiance for any surface
With a broad range of content that will benefit students and more
experienced readers alike, this resource serves as a primer and
technical reference that presents the basic terminology and
fundamentals for resource assessment. It explores the history of
solar radiation instruments and addresses direct normal, global,
diffuse, and tilted measurements, as well as the characteristics of
instruments used for these measurements. The authors consider
methods of assessing the uncertainty of solar measurements and then
cover albedo, infrared, net, and spectral irradiance measurements
and instrumentation. The book devotes a section to other
meteorological instruments, and another to the basics for
installing and operating a solar monitoring station. Appendices
include information on solar resource assessment modeling and
satellite-derived irradiance, along with other useful material.
This book's authors are experts who each have more than 30 years of
experience developing and operating multiple measurement stations,
working with industry to improve radiometry, and conducting various
research projects.
