Whitlock and W.S. Dr. Stackhouse is a Senior Research Scientist at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. First you have to connect to the NASA Surface meteorology and Solar Energy database for a particular location, here : Power Data access Viewer : NASA solar radiation and meteorological data Select the "Power single point solar access" for data for a specific point on the map. The POWER project targets three user communities: (1) Renewable Energy, (2) Sustainable Buildings, and (3) Agroclimatology. Meteor. The solar (also called solar-weighted) reflectance is a weighted average of the spectral reflectance over the solar λ range, with a standard solar spectral irradiance distribution as the weighting function. When using the Data Access Viewer (DAV) they are available in single point data access widget with the climatology temporal level selected and Solar Irradiance for Equator Facing Tilted Surfaces (Set of Surfaces) in the group Tilted Solar Panels.

Welcome to the solar spectrum calculator. Since 1978, various satellites have measured the Sun’s brightness above Earth’s atmosphere. EVE will provide the solar data needed to drive the next generation of thermosphere/ionosphere models. Chandler, J.M. Solar irradiance is one of the longest and most fundamental of all climate data records derived from space-based observations. Since 1978, various satellites have measured the Sun’s brightness above Earth’s atmosphere. Chandler, D.J.
