At the top of the
SASP mast are deployed a wind monitor (RM Young™ Model 05103-5), two
up-looking, full-range pyranometers (Kipp & Zonen CM21, 305-2800 nm (50%
points)), a third filtered pyranometer (Kipp & Zonen™ CM21 with
RG695 filter dome, 780-2800 nm (50% points)), and a pyrgeometer (Kipp &
Zonen™ CG4). One of the full-range up-looking pyranometers is deployed
with a fixed shadow band for measurements of diffuse radiation at solar noon.
The shadow post is modeled upon the Swiss's Alpine Surface Radiation Budget
project specifications.Air temperature and humidity are monitored ( Campbell Scientific™ CS500) at the level of the upper wind monitor.
