UiT The Arctic University of Norway (UiT) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) established a light observatory at Kings Bay, Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard, Norway) in January 2017. The observatory consists of an array of light sensors including an all sky camera. It is located outside the settlement of Ny-Ålesund, approximately 1 km N-NW of the airport towards Brandalspynten. The array of sensors is mounted on a tripod under a transparent dome. This dataset contains the data of the hyperspectral radiometer USSIMO (In-situ Marine Optics, Perth, WA, Australia), converted to E(PAR) by the following equation: PAR is approximated as an integral of micromolespersec=(uirr/(h*c/(lambda*1e-9)))/microavo for wavelengths(lambda) in range from 400 to 700nm, where: uirr = USSIMO irradiance for wavelength equal to lambda, h=6.63e-34 [Js], c=3.00e+08 [m/s], microavo=6.022e17. The sensor is equipped with a Zeiss MMS1 UV-VIS NIR detector with National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA traceable ... : 1 data, totaling ...... 393.76 KB ...
