Solar Radiation Measurement and Solar Radiometers

Solar Irradiance Scales and Reference StandardsNext Steps to Join SiTraceability of Solar Irradiance DetectorsAs any other reference standard in the SI, the WRR has to show long-term stability and has to allow accurate and homogeneous worldwide measurements of its magnitude (the solar irradiance). This way, measurements done at different points of the Earth and in different moments along time have to be comparable and equivalent. For example, only a stable...See more on link.springer renovablesverdes
