ASRC RSS

1 August 1997 - 29 July 2007

Lead Scientist: Peter Kiedron

Observatory: sgp, sgp

Once every minute between sunrise and sunset the Rotating Shadowband Spectroradiometer (RSS) measured simultaneously three irradiances: total horizontal, diffuse horizontal and direct normal in near ultraviolet, visible and near infrared range (approx. 370nm-1050nm) at 512 (RSS103) or 1024 (RSS102 and RSS105) adjacent spectral resolving elements (pixels). The resolution was pixel (wavelength) dependent and differed from instrument to instrument. The reported irradiances were cosine response corrected, and their radiometric calibration were based on incandescent lamp calibrators that are traceable to the NIST irradiance scale.
