Solar Radiation Data in Cambridge Bay - CHARS Renewable and Alternative Energy priority

Two pyranometers were installed on a tripod, one horizontally and one at 69 degrees to the horizontal (equal to the latitude). A snow depth sensor was also installed on the tripod. A solar tracker with a shaded pyranometer and pyrheliometer, in order to measure diffuse and direct solar radiation, is...

Description
Summary:Two pyranometers were installed on a tripod, one horizontally and one at 69 degrees to the horizontal (equal to the latitude). A snow depth sensor was also installed on the tripod. A solar tracker with a shaded pyranometer and pyrheliometer, in order to measure diffuse and direct solar radiation, is planned for spring 2015. Global horizontal and tilted radiation measured at 1 minute intervals. : Purpose: To measure solar radiation for planning of potential renewable energy systems for the Canadian High Arctic Research Station. : Summary: Not Applicable
