Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Solar Radiation is an introductory text on solar radiation, with emphasis on the methods of calculation for determining the amount of solar radiation incident on a surface on the earth. Topics covered include the astronomical relationship between the sun and the earth; thermal radiation; the solar constant and its spectral distribution; and extraterrestrial solar irradiation. This book is comprised of 12 chapters and begins with an overview of the trigonometric relationships between the sun-earth line and the position of an inclined surface, followed by a discussion on the characteristics of blackbody radiation. The next chapter focuses on the solar constant and its spectral distribution, paying particular attention to extraterrestrial solar spectral irradiance and the sun's blackbody temperature. Subsequent chapters explore extraterrestrial and radiation incident on inclined planes; the optics of a cloudless-sky atmosphere; solar spectral radiation and total (broadband) radiation under cloudless skies; and solar radiation arriving at horizontal surfaces on the earth through cloudy skies. The ground albedo and its spectral and angular variation are also described, along with insolation on inclined surfaces. The last chapter is devoted to instruments for measuring solar radiation, including pyrheliometers and pyranometers. This monograph will serve as a useful guide for energy analysts, designers of thermal devices, architects and engineers, agronomists, and hydrologists as well as senior graduate students.

This book was released on 2018-06-20 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnitude of shortwave and longwave dative fluxes are critical to surface energy balance variations over the Greenland ice sheet, affecting many aspects of its climate, including melt rates, the nature of low-level temperature inversions, the katabatic wind regime and buoyant stability of the atmosphere. Nevertheless, reliable measurements of the radiative fluxes over the ice sheet are few in number, and have been of limited duration and areal distribution (e.g. Ambach, 1960; 1963, Konzelmann et al., 1994, Harding et al., 1995, Van den Broeke, 1996). Hourly GC-Net radiation flux measurements spanning 1995-2001 period have been used to produce a monthly dataset of surface radiation balance components. The measurements are distributed widely across Greenland and incorporate multiple sensors Steffen, Konrad and Box, Jason Goddard Space Flight Center

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observations of ice cap humidity profiles were made over two periods of approximately one month each during the summers of 1964 and 1965 at Camp Century, Greenland. The Karl Fischer technique used for these observations gives a value of the total water vapor concentration integrated over a sampling period of up to 10 minutes. The accuracy of the system is 2 to 3%. The humidity profiles were obtained from the surface up to a height of 183 ft using the meteorological tower previously erected at Camp Century. Within the sampled layer, the humidity profile showed considerable change both on a day to day basis and on a diurnal cycle during a given day. The humidity profile was apparently tied in quite closely with the radiation balance of the snow surface. During storms and overcast conditions humidity conditions tended to be more uniform both in time and through the sampled layer. During situations with supercooled water fog, conditions tended to be supersaturated with respect to an ice or snow surface but not relative to a water surface. However, the number of fog situations observed were too few to justify any definitive conclusions. (Author).
