A number of instruments are heavily dependent on the performance of the detector at their core, including pyranometers ...

We live on a solar-powered planet. As we wake up in the morning, the Sun peeks over the horizon to shed light on us, blanket us with warmth and provide cues to start our day. At the same time, our Sun ...

Researchers have pioneered an innovative method using helioseismology to measure the solar radiative opacity under extreme ...

Although an accurate assessment of solar resources is key to ensuring the reliability of an energy yield assessment, most studies rely exclusively on satellite irradiation data. Solar developers ...

Based on the long-term Potsdam radiation time series, researchers have shown that variations in the intensity of sunlight over decades are down to ultra-fine, human-made dirt particles in the ...

Scientists at NASA’s Langley Research Center have completed a first attempt to accurately calculate the level of damaging radiation flight crews and passengers are exposed to on commercial airline ...

NASA launched a spacecraft into orbit Saturday to measure all of the radiation streaming toward Earth from the sun. The satellite began its $122 million, five-year mission with a plane ride over the ...

Elevated near-surface ozone pollutes many parts of the world, exerting consequential impacts on human health in ozone-prone regions, including southeastern China, the southeastern United States, and ...
