Efficiency of clouds on shortwave radiation using experimental data
TL;DR: In this article, an extended data set of ground-based measurements of shortwave radiation, and cloud optical depth (COD) has been used to evaluate the surface cloud radiative forcing (CRF) in the shortwave range under overcast conditions (confirmed with sky images) at Granada, Spain.

TL;DR: In this article, a cross-validation of radiance data among these orbital instruments and also a set of systematic data acquired using Earth-based telescopes is performed to provide the maximum science benefit, and the results show that all instruments are in agreement about overall spectral properties of lunar materials, but small systematic differences are documented between instruments.

Intercomparison of SCIAMACHY and SIM vis-IR irradiance over several solar rotational timescales
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the spectral properties of the two satellite spectrometers SCIAMACHY and SIM (Spectral Irradiance Monitor) with reference spectra from ground, high-altitude, and space.

Measuring Landscape Albedo Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
TL;DR: This study developed a workflow for landscape albedo estimation using images acquired with a consumer-grade camera on board unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and suggests that the deployment of a camera that is capable of detecting reflectance at a near-infrared waveband should improve the accuracy of the shortwave albedos estimation.

Simple Solar Spectral Model for Direct and Diffuse Irradiance on Horizontal and Tilted Planes at the Earth's Surface for Cloudless Atmospheres
Richard E. Bird,C. Riordan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model for calculating direct normal and diffuse horizontal spectral solar irradiance for cloudless sky conditions was described. But the model was developed using rigorous radiative transfer codes and limited outdoor measurements.

The solar radiation between 3300 and 12500 Å
Heinz Neckel,Dietrich Labs +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a merging of the absolute integrals of the disk-center intensity for 20 A wide spectral bands and the ratios of mean to central intensity derived from recent observations of the center-to-limb variation of those bands (λ 6600 A).

Parameterized transmittance model for direct beam and circumsolar spectral irradiance
TL;DR: In this article, an upgraded spectral radiation model called SMARTS2 (Simple Model of the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer of Sunshine) is introduced, based on spectral transmittance functions for the main extinction processes in the cloudless atmosphere: Rayleigh scattering, aerosol extinction, and absorption by ozone, uniformly mixed gases, water vapor, and nitrogen dioxide.
