{"product_id":"solar-and-infrared-radiation-measurements-frank-vignola-9781138096295","title":"Solar and Infrared Radiation Measurements, Second Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe rather specialized field of solar and infrared radiation measurements has become increasingly important due to the increased demands by the renewable energy and climate change research communities for data with higher accuracy and increased temporal and spatial resolutions. Recent advances in radiometry, measurement systems, and information dissemination also have increased the need for refreshing the literature available for this topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides the reader with an up-to-date review of the important aspects of solar and infrared radiation measurements: radiometer design; equipment installation, operation, maintenance, and calibration; data quality assessment parameters; and the knowledge necessary to properly interpret and apply the measured data to a variety of topics. Each of the authors has more than 40 years of experience with this subject, primarily as the result of developing and operating multiple measurement stations, working with the industry to improve radiometry, and conducting various research projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's scope and subject matter have been designed to help a wide audience gain a general understanding of this subject and to serve as a technical reference. A student new to the field will benefit from the review of terminology and the historical perspective for radiometry before addressing more detailed topics in radiometry that we hope will be of interest to the more experienced reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Describes the strengths and weaknesses of irradiance instruments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Provides detailed information on how to assess uncertainty in measurements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Offers comprehensive background information needed to understand the use of solar instrumentation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Discusses design concepts for shadowband radiometers, sky imagers, and satellite-based estimates of solar irradiance at the Earth's surface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Includes chapter-end questions, references, and useful links\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Vignola,Joseph Michalsky,Thomas Stoffel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138096296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138096295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Frank Vignola","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113265737983,"sku":"9781138096295","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6c04a35-548c-40df-bc46-217f92bf130e.jpg?v=1769613975","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/solar-and-infrared-radiation-measurements-frank-vignola-9781138096295","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
