whereθis the solar zenith angle (vertically above the location is 0°, horizontal is 90°). GHI is measured by a pyranometer with a hemispherical view, mounted horizontally. DHI is measured by a pyranometer shaded from the direct sun beam and DNI is measured by a pyrheliometer with a na...
A surface facing east has an azimuth of 90 degrees. The reference plane for the solar azimuth is the vertical plane running north-south through the poles. A back azimuth is the opposite direction of an azimuth . The azimuth Drive is based upon a helical gear machined into the outside race...
local time and set in the west before dawn on Saturday morning. By then the diurnal rotation of the sky will lift the moon above Jupiter. Saturday, Jan. 11 - Mars Closest to Earth (overnight) An illustration of the sun and inner planets of the solar system. (Image credit: Chris ...
The summer solstice marks the official start of astronomical summer and the longest day of the year. It occurs when one of Earth's poles is tilted toward the sun at its most extreme angle, and due to Earth's tilt, this happens twice a year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solsti...
the Perez model, DNI is calculated from GHI using Dr. Perez's DIRINT methodology. In the REST2 model, a second modulation function is used to calculate DNI from the cloud index and the clear sky DNI value. Diffuse is then calculated from the GHI and DNI values and solar zenith angle. ...
Using cosmic neutrinos to search for nonperturbative physics at the Pierre Auger Observatory The area depends on the zenith angle θ of the incoming neutrino. The distance ∆L is the multiple, n, of the average lepton range Ll(El) . ... LA Anchordoqui,H Goldberg,D Góra,... - 《Phy...
Because of the dependence of aerosol direct forcing on solar zenith angle, the daytime variation of aerosol properties doesn't directly translate into that of direct radiative forcing. Our goal is to assess what uncertainty is introduced to the direct forcing calculation by neglecting aerosol daytime...
What is a solar filter? What is cycloplegic refraction? What is glare light pollution? What is a zenith on a planisphere? What is a secondary cataract? What is a brown cataract? What is the meridian on a planisphere? What is the lacrimal apparatus?

Passing over five degrees north of the Sun, this was a far cry from the historic 2012 transit of the solar disk, a feat that won’t be replicated again until 2117 AD. But February and March offer some notable events worth watching out for as Venus wanders in the dawn. The path of ...
