Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6026853
Oregon State University, Corvallis, was awarded a five-year grant by the US Department of Energy in the Fall of 1977 to set up and administer through the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, the Solar Energy Meteorological Research and Training Site (SEMRTS) program for the region comprising the states of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming. Oregon State thus became one of the eight university-based regional research centers of this program designed to assess the solar energy potential for the entire country. The principal objectives of the SEMRTS program are: a detailed description of the solar radiation climatology of the region; establishment of a comprehensive solar radiation and allied meteorological data base; and development of quality educational training facilities in the broad discipline of solar energy.
