Title: Rotating Shadowband Spectroradiometer (RSS) Handbook

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1020275· OSTI ID:1020275

The rotating shawdowband spectroradiometer (RSS) implements the same automated shadowbanding technique used by the multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer (MFRSR), and so it too provides spectrally-resolved, direct-normal, diffuse-horizontal, and total-horizontal irradiances, and can be calibrated in situ via Langley regression. The irradiance spectra are measured simultaneously at all spectral elements (pixels) in 360-nm to 1050-nm range.
