C-1
Appendix C. CNR4 Performance and
Measurements under Different
Conditions
TABLE C-1 shows what one might typically expect to measure under different
meteorological conditions.
The first parameter is day and night. At night, the solar radiation is zero. The
second column shows if it is cloudy or clear. A cloud acts like a blanket,
absorbing part of the solar radiation, and keeping net far infrared radiation
close to zero. The third parameter is ambient temperature; this is included to
show that the sky temperature, column nine, “sky T”, tracks the ambient
temperature. Under cloudy conditions this is logical; cloud bases will be colder
than the ambient temperature. At instrument level, the temperature difference
depends roughly on cloud altitude.
Under clear sky conditions, it is less obvious that sky temperature “adjusts” to
the ambient temperature. This can roughly be attributed to the water vapor in
the air, which is a major contributor to the far infrared radiation.

1 Values may suffer from the so-called window heating offset; the sun heats the pyrgeometer window causing a measurement
error of +10 Watts per square meter (maximum).
2 Values may suffer from negative infrared offsets, caused by cooling off of the pyranometer dome by far infrared radiation. The
maximum expected offset value is 15 Watts per square meter.
3 Values may suffer from dew deposition. This causes the pyrgeometer-up values to rise from –100 to 0 Watts per square meter.
