Opt, 2001, pp
8 IRSPERAD The campaign Results presented here: from first two weeks (June 2011) optimal weather conditions and strong control of all scales (radiometric, λ) 1-June 18:30 Data selection clear sky, free of visible clouds free of any tin (invisible) cirrus clouds (LIDAR monitoring) low Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), AERONET data & low variability Bouguer-Langley plots: coefficient of regression > 0.99
9 IRSPERAD The campaign λ = 870 nm R² = λ = 1070 nm R² = λ = 1640 nm R² = Gaussian fit for the 164 channels: example for λ = 1070 nm Langley plots: 66 available events for the whole campaign one third for the first two weeks

11 Discussion & comparisons IRSPERAD campaign Discussion & comparisons 1) SOLSPEC ATLAS3 SOSP version of SOLSPEC (EURECA ) Absolute calibration (blackbody of Heidelberg) Announced standard uncertainty around 3 % 2) Arvesen airborne set data at 12 km of altitude (1969) Calibration using a 1000 W quartz-halogen lamp Standard uncertainty around 3 %
12 IRSPERAD campaign Discussion & comparisons 3) SIM on SORCE prism spectrometer (2003 ) A SIM-to-ATLAS3 deviation was found and corrected because: the calculated uncertainties reached 8 % for SIM above 1.35 µm the need to achieve both a more plausible TSI and solar brightness temperature values (around 1.6 µm) as ATLAS3 did
13 IRSPERAD campaign Discussion & comparisons 4) SCHIAMACHY remote-sensing spectrometer with NIR channels ( ) Absolute calibrated Estimated standard uncertainty: 2 % 5) IRSPERAD
14 IRSPERAD campaign Discussion & comparisons 6) SOLAR/SOLSPEC SOLAR mission on ISS ( ) Renewed NIR channel, absolute calibrated at the PTB (blackbody) Estimated standard uncertainty: lower than 2 % for most of the NIR range
15 IRSPERAD campaign Discussion & comparisons 7) CAVIAR ESS high-resolution Fourier Spectrometer (2008) TOA SSI retrieved using the Bouguer-Langley method (at sea level) Absolute calibrated at the NPL (blackbody) Estimated standard uncertainty in the range of 3.3 % to 5.9 % Composite results: All sets of data are independent (hardware, methodology, calibration) Except: 1) IRSPERAD SOLAR/SOLSPEC (blackbody) 2) CAVIAR ESS IRSPERAD (Bouguer-Langley)
16 IRSPERAD campaign Conclusions IRSPERAD Based on a simplified methodology (Bouguer Langley) providing an easy access to the TOA solar spectral irradiance. Stable instrumentation (full radiometric control over the experimental setup and the error sources). Reliability of the calibration using the blackbody of the PTB as primary standard source. Benefit of the ideal atmospheric conditions at IZO This measurement campaign could provide a reference NIR SSI data set from the ground. However, limited to a series of NIR wavelengths that correspond to the atmospheric windows. This work was intended to bring some contributions to the actual discussions on the solar irradiance around 1.6 µm. This work is published in Solar Physics since 17th January 2014 online version DOI /s
