Analysis of Rotating Shadowband Spectroradiometer Data from SGP

Harrison, L., Min, Q., and Michalsky, J. J., Atmospheric Sciences Research Inst., State University of New York at Albany
Ninth Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Science Team Meeting

We show Rotating Shadowband Spectroradiometer (RSS) optical depth spectra from the Southern Great Plains (SGP) for a range of clear-sky cases, and discuss comparisons of the spectral direct/diffuse irradiance ratios with modeled results as a test of potential "clear-sky anomalies." We also show overcast-sky case-studies using RSS and Multifilter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (MFRSR) observations in conjunction with microwave radar and lidar data to constrain model inputs.
