Davos Instruments – Seite 2 – High precision solar radiometry

ISRC – Lignan (Aosta)

This last week of June, an impressive installation of different radiometers has been set up in Lignan (Aosta, Italy). It is the 11th International Spectroradiometer and Broadband Intercomparison 2023 (ISRC) organised by the Joint Research Centre (JRC). More than a dozen institutions from the fields of solar energy research and meteorology are taking part in this event. Comparing and calibration their equipment. Davos Instruments is operating its PMO8 reference as well as two radiometers on behalf of the World Radiation Centre.

BRPC in Norrköping

Another exciting pyrheliometer comparison is taking place: The Baltic Region Pyrheliometer Comparison (BRPC), hosted by SMHI, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute. Davos Instruments is very pleased to participate in this event.

Davos Instruments in Japan

Davos Instruments is currently participating in the fifth WMO Regional Pyrheliometer Comparison of WMO RA-II, jointly held with RA-V on Mount Tsukuba in Japan, an exciting event having approximately 20 absolute radiometers and many experts here. It is a great pleasure to be here and enjoy valuable discussions, excellent infrastructure and delicious meals.

New Article on Adaptive Diffraction Corrections

Proceedings from the WMO Technical Conference on Meteorological and Environmental Instruments and Methods of Observation
(TECO-2022) are now publicly available here. Markus Suter (Davos Instruments) and Wolfgang Finsterle (PMOD/WRC) have contributed their work: Adaptive diffraction corrections in solar radiometry, a prerequisite for the ISO 9060:2018 AA class.

Davos Instruments at NPC 2022

Davos Instruments is participating in the NREL Pyrehliometer Comparison in Golden USA. Davos Instruments is sucessfully operating two PMO8 radiometers with Linard control units. It is the first time, PMO8 radiometers are taking part in this comparison event at NREL.
