  2. Solar irradiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_irradiance

    Direct normal irradiance (DNI), or beam radiation, is measured at the surface of the Earth at a given location with a surface element perpendicular to the Sun direction. [ 6 ] [ failed verification ] It excludes diffuse solar radiation (radiation that is scattered or reflected by atmospheric components).

    Direct normal irradiance spectra calculated with SMARTS 2.9.5 for increasing air mass (0 to 10), using the same atmospheric conditions as the ASTM G173 standard. Air mass 0 corresponds to the extraterrestrial spectrum, [1] marked as Top of Atmosphere (TOA).

  4. Irradiance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irradiance

    The global irradiance on a horizontal surface on Earth consists of the direct irradiance E e,dir and diffuse irradiance E e,diff. On a tilted plane, there is another irradiance component, E e,refl, which is the component that is reflected from the ground. The average ground reflection is about 20% of the global irradiance.

    This is typically specified as average DNI (Direct Normal Irradiance) greater than 5.5-6m kWh/m 2 /day or 2000 kWh/m 2 /yr. Otherwise, evaluations of annualized DNI vs. GNI/GHI (Global Normal Irradiance and Global Horizontal Irradiance) irradiance data have concluded that conventional PV should still perform better over time than presently ...

    Direct neural interface, a brain-computer interface; Direct normal irradiance, a measure of the solar irradiance striking a surface held normal to the line of sight to the sun; Direct normal insolation, also known as direct insolation, a measure of the solar irradiance striking a surface held normal to line of sight to the sun

    The network explains on its website that it features 24/7 programming "created to meet specific attributes of a dog's sense of vision and hearing and supports their natural behavior patterns."

  8. Solar activity and climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_activity_and_climate

    Since 1978, solar irradiance has been directly measured by satellites with very good accuracy. [11]: 6 These measurements indicate that the Sun's total solar irradiance fluctuates by +-0.1% over the ~11 years of the solar cycle, but that its average value has been stable since the measurements started in 1978.

  9. Solar constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_constant

    Solar irradiance spectrum at top of atmosphere, on a linear scale and plotted against wavenumber. The solar constant (G SC) measures the amount of energy received by a given area one astronomical unit away from the Sun. More specifically, it is a flux density measuring mean solar electromagnetic radiation (total solar irradiance) per unit
