Comparisons with a Rotating Shadowband Pyranometer

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    Comparisons are performed between measurements made with a Rotating Shadowband Pyranometer (RSP) and an Eppley PSP, and Eppley NIP, and an Eppley PSP with a shadow band. Comparisons are made on a five minute, daily, and monthly average basis. The purpose of this study is to identify systematic errors in the RSP meassurements. In general, the RSP underestimates diffuse insolation and overestimatesbeam radiation while giving a good estimate of the global radiation.
