Solar Splash instrumentation system
2015The Solar Splash is a competition between different universities, each competing using a boat that is solely powered by solar energy. USI participated in their first competition this past summer. Tlie goal for this project is to design and construct an onboard instrumentation system, utilizing the Galileo microcomputer board. Using a variety of sensors

Instrumentation for Solar Polarimetry
1994The aim of solar polarimetry is to measure the Stokes vector I (the four Stokes parameters I, Q, U, and V) with the highest possible polarimetric accuracy, spectral, spatial, and time resolution, and spectral and spatial coverage. As it is not possible to optimize all these parameters simultaneously, various combinations of trade-offs are needed.

The definitions of basic quantities such as flux density, brightness temperature and optical depth are reviewed in the context of solar radio astronomy. Current observational techniques and hardware are discussed in terms of the spatial and spectral resolution required for solar observations.

Solar Radiation Measurement Instrumentation
1962Abstract : A pyranometer for measuring sun and sky radiation on a horizontal surface in selected broad spectral bands was developed. A thermoelectric-type sensor was modified to permit use of hemispheric glass filters of practical size. Desired spectral bands can be selected by using two or more units with differing sharp cut-offs on the ultraviolet ...

GaN-based solar-ultraviolet detection instrument
Applied Optics, 1998We report on the fabrication of a solar-UV monitoring system that uses GaN-based photodetectors. GaN photoconductors, p-n junction photodiodes, and Schottky barrier photodiodes have been fabricated and characterized as UV sensors. The best performances are obtained in Schottky photodiodes, which show a linear response, a flat responsivity of 100 mA/W ...

We discuss the various aspects of specialized instrumentation for solar observation. Telescopes are designed to minimize heating and turbulence. Because two-dimensional images are so important, two-dimensional monochromators are particularly important.

The exploration of our Sun has been pursued with ground-based instruments in optical and radio wavelengths before the start of the space age, which was initiated by the launch of Sputnik in October 1957.

Solar instruments and data bases
International Journal of Ambient Energy, 1982SYNOPSIS The requirements for data to enable designs, performance predictions, and cost analyses to be made for passive solar buildings are considered in the context of the requirements for a representative selection of other solar energy applications. It is shown that the measurements needed at this point in time range from samples of precise details ...

An instrument for measuring absorptivities for solar radiation
Journal of Scientific Instruments, 1956An instrument and method for measuring solar absorptivities of prepared metal samples is described. By means of comparing the cooling and heating cycles, when subjected to solar radiation, of a sample plate of which one side is a standard black and the other is the test surface, most of the usual errors are eliminated and a direct comparative measure ...
