Diffuse radiation formula (Heat Overlay): Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:52, 13 September 2021

The diffuse radiation is an input parameter for the PET-formula.

The diffuse radation Q_d at time t is calculated using the following formula:

$Q_{d,t}=Q_{gl,t}\cdot f_{transmission,t}$

where,

$Q_{gl,t}$ is the amount of sun radiation at time t, measured at a weather station.
$f_{transmission,t}$ is the atmospheric transmission factor at time t.

The atmospheric transmission factor f_{transmission,t} is calculated as followed:

where $\tau _{a}$ is the atmospheric transmissivity. This is calculated as:

$\tau _{a}={\frac {Q_{gl,t}}{1367\cdot \sin(\phi _{t})}}$

where,

$Q_{gl,t}$ is the amount of sun radiation at time t, measured at a weather station.
$\phi _{t}$ is the sun altitude angle in ° at time t.
$1367$ is sourced from the DPRA Heat stress report.
