Meteorological Radiation
Meteorological Radiation:
Solar radiation and terrestrial radiation
中国气象局气象探测中心
CMA Meteorological Observation Centre
• Since the spectral distributions of solar and
terrestrial radiation overlap very little, they can
very often be treated separately in measurements
and computations.
• In meteorology, the sum of both types is called
total radiation.

Solar radiation spectrum
中国气象局气象探测中心
CMA Meteorological Observation Centre
• The radiation visible to the human eye is called
light. The spectral range of visible radiation is
defined by the spectral luminous efficiency for the
standard observer.
• The lower limit: 360 and 400 nm,
• The upper limit: 760 and 830 nm (ICI, 1987).
• Thus, 99 per cent of the visible radiation lies: 400
to 730 nm.
• The radiation of wavelengths shorter than about
400 nm is called ultraviolet (UV), longer than about
800 nm, infrared radiation.

UV
The UV range is
sometimes divided
into three sub-ranges
(IEC, 1987):
UV-A:315…400nm;
UV-B:280…315nm;
UV-C:100…280nm;

Direct Solar Radiation
• S: Solar radiation from the sun and a narrow
annulus of the sky (a half-angle of about 2.5°
from the sun’s center)intercepted by a surface
perpendicular to the surface pointed at the center
of the sun.

Global Solar Radiation
Eg↓: Solar radiation received from a solid angle of
2π sr on a horizontal surface, including horizontal
component of direct solar radiation and diffuse
horizontal radiation Ed↓.
中国气象局气象探测中心
CMA Meteorological Observation Centre
Diffuse Radiation
• Ed↓: Solar radiation (short-wave component)
reaching the earth’s surface from a solid angle of
2π sr after been scattered by atmosphere or
reflected by cloud, measured with the
pyranometer by screening the direct solar
component with a shading device.

Reflected Radiation
中国气象局气象探测中心
CMA Meteorological Observation Centre
Long-wave radiation
• Terrestrial long-wave radiation El↑:
– Long-wave radiation upward emitting from the
earth’s surface (including long-wave radiation
reflected from the earth’s surface), closely related
with surface temperature.
• Atmospheric long-wave radiation El↓:
– Long-wave radiation downward emitting from the
atmosphere, also called atmospheric counter
radiation.
• Total Radiation
– Sum of short-wave radiation and long-wave
radiation, wavelength range from 0.3 to 100 µm.
中国气象局气象探测中心
CMA Meteorological Observation Centre
Net radiation
• Net radiation E*:
– Difference between downward radiation (global
solar radiation and atmospheric long-wave
radiation ) and upward radiation (reflected radiation
and terrestrial long-wave radiation ), also called
radiation balance
• Solar constant S0
– Solar irradiance at normal incidence outside the
atmosphere (extraterrestrial) at the mean sun-earth
distance. Optimum value recommended by WMO,
1981: S0=1367±7W·m-2。

Traceability
• Calibration of radiometric instruments is to transmit the
basic reference maintained by World Radiation Center
(WRC)to Regional and National Radiation Centers,
in turn, they transmit their own standards to the
network instruments.
• WRC is responsible for maintaining the basic
reference, the World Standard Group (WSG), which is
used to establish the World Radiometric Reference
(WRR).
• China Meteorological Administration (CMA) is
responsible for calibration and classification of
radiometric instruments in China.
中国气象局气象探测中心
CMA Meteorological Observation Centre
World Radiometric Reference (WRR)
• History, several radiation references or scales have
been used in meteorology:
① The Ångström scale of 1905;
② The Smithsonian scale of 1913;
③ The international pyrheliometric scale of 1956 (IPS 1956).
• Recent years, with the developments in absolute
radiometry, the uncertainty of radiation measurements
have been very much reduced .
• A WRR has been defined with the results of many
comparisons of 15 individual absolute pyrheliometers
of 10 different types.
中国气象局气象探测中心

• The old scales can be transferred into the WRR
using the following factors:
WRR
1.026
Angstrom scale 1905

World standard group (WSG)
• Realization of the WRR: WSG, a group of at least four
absolute pyrheliometers of different design, fulfill the
following specifications:
– (a) Long-term stability must be better than 0.2 percent of the
measured value;
– (b) The 95 per cent uncertainty of the series of
measurements with the instrument must lie within the limits
of the uncertainty of the WRR;
– (c) The instrument has to have a different design from the
other WSG instruments.

Spectral irradiance standards
• The spectral irradiance standard in meteorology
has been directly compared to the primary
irradiance standard of National Institute of
Metrology (NIM) China. By shortcutting this
calibration chain, the error is greatly decreased.

Calibration methods
• The calibration parameter of a pyranometer is
sensitivity (µV/W•m-2)
• For pyrheliometer and pyranometer, the method is
different
中国气象局气象探测中心
CMA Meteorological Observation Centre
Calibration of pyrheliometer
• Using the sun as the source
• Calibrated by comparison with a pyrheliometer
that has traceability to the WSG
• A likely uncertainty of calibration equal to or
better than the pyrheliometer being calibrated.
中国气象局气象探测中心
CMA Meteorological Observation Centre
• Influence factors:
– geometry structure of instrument
– variability of the solar irradiance
– environmental conditions, such as temperature,
pressure and net long-wave irradiance
中国气象局气象探测中心
CMA Meteorological Observation Centre
Calibration of pyranometer
• There are a variety of methods for calibrating pyranometers using the
sun or laboratory sources. These include the following:
– (1) By comparison with a standard pyrheliometer using the sun as a
source, with a removable shading disc for the pyranometer;
S sinh U un U s / k
中国气象局气象探测中心

• (2) By comparison with a standard pyrheliometer for the direct solar
irradiance and a calibrated shaded pyranometer for the diffuse sky irradiance;

sky and direct solar irradiance not statistically different from zero);
