C 2.4 Reduction of measurements to standard geometry
The empirical formulae in section C 2.4.2 are valid for HunIII. Since
Hu nIII
RATIO = HunI/HunIII ~ Standard/HunIII,
therefore the reduction of measurements of HunIII to standard geometry can be made by using any
of the two formulae. The correction of other diffusometers are connected to that of HunIII in Table C
2.3 by the normalized deficit.
The normalized deficit of other diffusometers can be estimated by the following equation:
NORM
DEFICIT = a*SLOPE + b*LIMIT + c
where a = 0.425
b = 0.496
c = - 2.270
These empirical constants derived from the data of the 10 instruments found in Tables C 2.1 and C
2.3. The correlation is 0.991. This way any diffusometer can be “placed “ into the last column of Table
C 2.3 if its slope and limit angles have been calculated for “vertical position”. Since
1 + DEFICIT = Standard/Diffuse
where “Diffuse” = the output of the diffusometer so that the “Standard” value can be derived.
C 2.5 Results
(1) The following equipments have almost identical geometry: the two Australian diffusometers, the
German BSRN station diffusometer and the SciTec-Kipp diffusometer, this way they could be regarded
as a geometrically standard group of diffusometers.
(2) The relation of the HunIII diffusometer to the standard (in practice to the SciTec-Kipp) is described
by two empirical equations derived from 18 months measurements made in Budapest.
(3) The relation of any diffusometer to HunIII is described by an other empirical equation (based on
calculated circumsolar irradiances) that requires the radius of the shader, the radius of the sensor
and the distance between them.
