Calibration absolute

PyrNet stations pyranometer are absolut calibrated versus secondary standard pyranometers in field. To verify comparability of the individual irradiance observations of each station, these stations are colectively calibrated within a time frame close to a major measurement campaign.

Calibration absolute:

• 1. S2VSR 2023-06
• 2. 2019-06 MetPVNet
• 3. 2015 MelCol
• 4. 2014 IOPRAO
• 5. 2013 HOPE

Calibration cosine error

PyrNet stations pyranometer are compared to clear sky reference measurements. A cosine correction function is determined.

Calibration cosine error:

• 1. Mean Cosine Correction from all calibration campaigns
• 2. 2023-06 S2VSR
• 3. 2015 MelCol
• 4. 2014 IOPRAO
