LI-200 | Global Horizontal | W/m2 | 04/01/2012 | 09/19/2017 | PY69235 | -11.52 W/m2/µA |
09/19/2017 | - | PY106763 | -15.49 W/m2/µA | |||
Measured using a LICOR LI-200 Pyranometer mounted on an Irradiance Inc. Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (RSR) v2. The RSR is mounted on a the ground and the LI-200 sensor height is approx. 7 feet above ground level. The uncorrected value is for testing and troubleshooting purposes only. Voltage is measured across a 100 Ohm precision resistor in parallel to sensor output. On 09/19/2017, the sensor was replaced with LI-200R and resistor is 154.9 Ohms. | ||||||
LI-200 | Diffuse Horizontal | W/m2 | 04/01/2012 | 09/19/2017 | PY69235 | -11.52 W/m2/µA |
09/19/2017 | - | PY106763 | -15.49 W/m2/µA | |||
Measured using the above LI-200, when RSR band rotates every 30-seconds and blocks the sun. The uncorrected value is for testing and troubleshooting purposes only. Voltage is measured across a 100 Ohm precision resistor in parallel to sensor output. | ||||||
(calc) | Direct Normal | W/m2 | 04/01/2012 | - | - | FD = 1 |
Calculated using Global and Diffuse measurement. The uncorrected value is for testing and troubleshooting purposes only. | ||||||
LI-200 | Global Horizontal (secondary) | W/m2 | 04/01/2012 | 09/19/2017 | PY69236 | -10.33 W/m2/µA |
09/19/2017 | - | PY106764 | -16.82 W/m2/µA | |||
Measured using a LICOR LI-200 Pyranometer mounted next to the primary LI-200, but outside of the rotating shading band. Voltage is measured across a 100 Ohm precision resistor in parallel to sensor output. On 09/19/2017, the sensor was replaced with LI-200R and resistor is 168.2 Ohms. | ||||||
CS215 | Dry Bulb Temperature and Relative Humidity | oC % |
04/01/2012 | - | - | N/A |
Outside air temperature and relative humidity inside in a naturally aspirated radiation shield mounted on RSR pole below LICOR sensors. | ||||||
034B | Wind Speed and Wind Direction | m/s degrees |
04/01/2012 | 10/12/2017 | - | 0.799 m/s/Hz+0.2811m/s 712 o/mV |
Measured by a MetOne 3-cup anemometer and vane mounted 3 meters above ground level. Peak Wind Speed is also recorded, which is the maximum 3-sec anemometer reading during the 1-minute interval. | ||||||
CS106 | Station Pressure | mBar | 04/01/2012 | - | - | 0.24 mBar/mV+500mBar |
The station pressure is measured by a Vaisala sensor mounted inside weatherproof housing. This sensor is only measured every 15-minutes to conserve battery power. | ||||||
(calc) | Zenith Angle | o | 04/01/2012 | - | - | - |
Solar zenith angle calculated by RSR datalogger program. | ||||||
(calc) | Azimuth Angle | o | 04/01/2012 | - | - | - |
Solar azimuth angle calculated by RSR datalogger program. | ||||||
- | RSR Battery Voltage | V | 04/01/2012 | - | - | - |
The RSR Battery powers the datalogger and the shadowband, it is charged by a PV panel. | ||||||
- | CR1000 Temperature | oC | 04/01/2012 | - | - | - |
Temperature of CR1000 datalogger panel. Logger is mounted inside weatherproof enclosure. | ||||||
