An analysis of the errors found in broadband filter radiometry
Abstract
A joint project to monitor the spectral distribution of daylight was instituted between the Smithsonian Radiation Biology Laboratory and the National Physical Laboratory of Israel. The purpose of this project is to gather sufficient data to study the variations in spectral quality due to natural seasonal and atmospheric variations at various geographical locations. This analysis shows that using good equipment one can determine the spectral quality of daylight in 100 nm bands and determine the various ratios of these bands with errors less than 4 per cent.
