Improved Langley and Ratio Langley Methods for Improving Sky-Radiometer Accuracy
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 6
Abstract
Improved Langley Method (ILM) is proposed to improve the calibration accuracy of the sky-radiometer. The ILM uses that the calibration coefficients of other arbitrary wavelengths can be presumed from the calibration coefficients in a certain reference wave length, and improves the calibration accuracy of a full wave length region by Ratio Langley Method (RLM) in long wavelength paying attention to calibration accuracy being good comparatively was proposed. Specifically, the calibration coefficient of other wavelengths was presumed by the RLM from the calibration factor by ILM in 0.87 micrometer. The numerical simulation based on measured data of solar direct and aureole when the calibration error of the proposed method was evaluated about the case where ±3% and ±5% of measurement error is superimposed on the measurement data solar direct and aureole, the maximum with error was 0.0014 and 0.0428, and they of ILM were 0.011 and 0.0489. Therefore, the proposed calibration method is robust for a measurement error compared with ILM, and was understood that highly precise calibration is possible over full wavelength. When the standard deviation of a calibration coefficients estimated the accuracy of the proposed calibration method based on the measured data of the sky-radiometer for 15 days which fits calibration among the measured data for four years or more, it was 0.02016, and since it was smaller than the standard deviation 0.03858 of the calibration coefficients by ILM, the predominance of the proposed calibration method has been confirmed.
