Shortwave Radiation Calculation for Forest Plots Using Airborne LiDAR Data and Computer Graphics

Plant Phenomics, 2022
Forested environments feature a highly complex radiation regime, and solar radiation is hindered from penetrating into the forest by the 3D canopy structure; hence, canopy shortwave radiation varies spatiotemporally, seasonally, and meteorologically ...

Design and Experiments of a Naturally-Ventilated Radiation Shield for Ground Temperature Measurement

Atmosphere, 2023
Temperature sensors may produce a measurement error of up to 1 °C because of the influence of solar radiation. In order to obtain a relatively minimal temperature error, a new temperature observation system was proposed in this paper for measuring ...

Influence of solar radiation reflectance on water evaporation [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1970
The evaporation of a water reservoir may be reduced by increasing the reflectance of solar energy by the water surface. Such a change in reflectance will require a surface modification such as the application of a special surface film or monolayer with good reflecting properties.

A Multispectral Camera Suite for the Observation of Earth’s Outgoing Radiative Energy

Remote Sensing, 2023
As part of the Earth Climate Observatory space mission concept for the direct observation from space of the Earth Energy Imbalance, we propose an advanced camera suite for the high-resolution observation of the Total Outgoing Radiation of the Earth.

Strong Solar Radiation Forces from Anomalously Reflecting Metasurfaces for Solar Sail Attitude Control [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractWe examine the theoretical implications of incorporating metasurfaces on solar sails, and the effect they can have on the forces applied to the sail. This would enable a significant enhancement over state-of-the- art attitude control by demonstrating a novel, propellant-free and low-mass approach to induce a roll torque on the sail, which is a ...

Editorial for Special Issue “Earth Radiation Budget”

Remote Sensing, 2020
The Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) at the top of the atmosphere describes how the Earth gains energy from the Sun and loses energy to space through the reflection of solar radiation and the emission of thermal radiation. The ERB is measured from space with

A Prototype Sensor for Estimating Light Interception by Plants in a Greenhouse [PDF]

, 2008
Light interception is one of the most important factors for plant growth. The intercepted amount depends on the incoming radiation in the greenhouse and the percentage of interception by the crop and is directly related to the leaf area.

3D LOCAL SCALE SOLAR RADIATION MODEL BASED ON URBAN LIDAR DATA [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012
The aim of the present study is to obtain the direct, diffuse and reflected solar energy that reaches a generic point of an urban landscape regardless of its location on a roof, on the ground or on a façade. The vertical façades embody a discontinuity in
