In. Plakhina et al., COMPARISON BETWEEN MEASURED AND CALCULATE D RADIATION FLUXES REACHINGTHE EARTHS SURFACE, Izvestia Akademii nauk. Rossijskaa akademia nauk. Fizika atmosfery iokeana, 34(1), 1998, pp. 125-133
To assess the agreement between experimental and calculated values of
solar and thermal radiation reaching the earth's surface, their values
for clear and cloudy skies were compared on the basis of the data obt
ained from the 1992 and 1994 Zvenigorod experiments on radiation and c
loudiness. Such a comparison serves as a check upon the reliability of
a chosen calculation scheme and as an additional independent estimate
of experimental errors.
