Measurement of the radiation
The short-wave radiation (incomming solar radiation) is measured with a pyranometer (Kipp & Zonen CMP 6). Nocturnal values are zero, while during the course of the day the cloudcover can be concluded form the radiation. Reflected radiation and long-wave radiation (heat radiation of the surface and the atmosphere) are not recorded in the routine program.
