Sources of variability in canopy reflectance and the convergent properties of plants
TL;DR: Current understanding of plant spectral properties with respect to sources of uncertainty at leaf to canopy scales is reviewed and a pattern that emerges suggests a synergy among the scattering effects of leaf-, stem- and canopy-level traits that becomes most apparent in the near-infrared (NIR) region.

Effect of dust, humidity and air velocity on efficiency of photovoltaic cells
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of dust accumulation, humidity level and air velocity on the performance of photovoltaic cells was investigated and the authors concluded that in order to have a profound insight of solar cell design, the effect of these factors should be taken into consideration in parallel.

A new solar irradiance calibration from 3295 Å to 8500 Å derived from absolute spectrophotometry of Vega
TL;DR: By imaging sunlight diffracted by 20-and 30-micron diameter pinholes onto the entrance aperture of a photoelectric grating scanner, the solar spectral irradiance was determined relative to the spectrophotometric standard star Vega, observed at night with the same instrument as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar ultraviolet irradiance and its temporal variation
TL;DR: In this paper, a summary of measurements made during the most recent solar cycle (number 22 extending from 1986 1996) with emphasis on the spectral range 120-300 nm is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar UV irradiance variability during the declining phase of the solar cycle 22
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral dependence of the two scale factors in the 120-200 nm range is derived from the SOLSTICE data which may be used with the MgII index to estimate the UV irradiance variability in this spectral range for both short and long time scales.

Total solar irradiance variations since 1978
TL;DR: In this paper, a composite record of solar total irradiance compiled from measurements made by five independent space-based radiometers since 1978 is the basis for an evaluation of the influence of solar activity on total solar irradiance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The solar constant and spectral distribution of solar radiant flux
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral distribution of the solar radiant flux has been surveyed, showing that the results from different sources have wide discrepancies, that no new experimental data have been taken in recent years and that the conventional technique of extrapolation to zero air mass leaves large uncertainties.
