sun_hourly_june.spct: Ground level spectral irradiance at hourly intervals

Description

Datasets containing the wavelengths at 1.0 nm interval and tabulated values of spectral irradiance for the sun for 22 to 24 June 2010 in Helsinki, Finland.

Usage

sun_hourly_june.spct

Format

A source_spct containing 58 spectra in long form (293 nm to 800 nm at 1 nm interval) and 4 variables w.length, s.e.irrad, UTC, and spct.idx.

Author

Anders K. Lindfors (radiation transfer modelling)

Details

The variables are as follows:

• w.length numeric (nm)

• s.e.irrad numeric (W m-2 nm-1)

• UTC POSIXct (UTC date and time)

• spct.idx factor with one level per spectrum

The data set includes NAs for missing night-time spectral irradiance values.
