solar.irradiance: Standard Solar Irradiance - Extraterrestrial and Terrestrial

Description

solar.irradiance Three power spectra; from 280 to 1000 nm at 1 nm intervals. Units are $W*m^{-2}*nm^{-1}$. atmosphere2003 a transmittance spectrum = a ratio of 2 spectra from solar.irradiance

Details

Direct is Direct Normal Irradiance Nearly parallel (0.5 deg divergent cone) radiation on surface with surface normal tracking (pointing to) the sun, excluding scattered sky and reflected ground radiation. Circumsolar is Spectral irradiance within +/- 2.5 degree (5 degree diameter) field of view centered on the 0.5 deg diameter solar disk, but excluding the radiation from the disk.
