NREL Solar Radiation Resource Assessment Project: Status and Outlook - FY 1992 Annual Progress Report

“…A major FY 1992 deliverable from SRRAP is the National Solar Radiation Data Base: Version 1.0. Aspects of the NSRDB were discussed in previous annual reports (Riordan et al 1991;Renn_ et al 1992) and other project reports. With the data base now completed, we provide a holistic overview of the process that led to its completion and of the final contents of the data base.…”

Influences of atmospheric conditions and air mass on the ratio of ultraviolet to total solar radiation

“…In comparison, decreases of 2% to 4% in UV solar radiation were found for increases in ozone amount from 0.280 atm em to 0.380 atm em. Schulze and Grafe [13] Baker-Blocker, et al [14] Monthly mean ratios at various 4.4%-5.6% subarctic locations (latitude range 55° N to 75° N) in the Nordic countries Measurements of UV and total global solar radiation, as well as other solar radiation and meteorological data, have been acquired at SERI' s Solar Radiation Research Laboratory (SRRL), Golden, Colo. (39° 44" N, 105° 10" W, 1828.8 m) for several years [15]. The data acquisition system records 5-min averages of 10-s scans of all channels.…”
