摘要
The RSS provides continuous spectral measurements of total-horizontal, diffuse-horizontal, and direct-normal irradiance from 360 to 1100 nm using the automated shadowband technique. We show instrument performance, calibration method and accuracies, case data from the first-generation instrument operated at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) site, and comparisons with the improved design now starting operation.
