surface observations (i.e. surface air temp., air pressure, humidity, wind, cloud amount, etc.)
●Calibration:
All radiometers are calibrated every 5 years. Pyrheliometers and pyranometers are traceable to the WRR, and pyrgeometer is traceable to the World Infrared Standard Group (WISG).
The trackers will be overhauled every 5 years by its manufacturer. y y y
●Direct solar radiation measurements:
Some obstructions in a westward direction disturb direct beam radiation before sunset in some seasons (see View 5). To minimize missing direct beam data, two pyrheliometers are installed on different trackers and observe direct beam in parallel.
