Abstract

Three types of biases are examined for a Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (RSR): temperature bias, spectral bias, and deviation from a Lambertian cosine response. A step by step method is presented to illustrate how to use this information to develop a model for adjustment algorithms for a RSR. Comparisons are made with a RSR adjusted using the model and measure direct normal, diffuse, and global irradiance.
