Calibration of selected pyranometers and satellite derived solar radiation in Puerto Rico
Knowledge of solar radiation at the ground surface is valuable for many disciplines. In this study, ground–based sensors at Fortuna and Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, were used to calibrate daily–integrated satellite–derived solar radiation. The calibration equations yielded R² values of 0.88 and 0.83 at Fortuna and Mayaguez, respectively. A regression equation was also derived ...

Spectral Selectivity vs. Spectral Error: Shedding Light on ISO 9060:2018
In late 2018, the ISO 9060 standard for solar radiometers underwent a remarkable update that brought significant changes on the classification of solar radiation measurement quality. At first glance, ISO 9060:2018 appears to be mainly a renaming of radiometer classification launched in the original version from 1990. But, as often, the devil is in the details and still causing a lot of confusion ...

Characteristics of solar radiation sensor
Introduction:A solar radiation sensor, also known as a pyranometer, is a device that measures the amount of solar radiation received on a surface in a given time period. Solar radiation is the energy that is transmitted by the sun to the earth, and it is measured in watts per square meter (W/m²). The solar radiation sensor provides valuable information for various applications, including ...
