Figure C 2.1. Penambra functions of diffusometers for 45 degrees solar elevation.
Comparing the calculated and measured sky functions it is seen, that the measured ones are much
larger then the calculated ones. This is illustrated by Figure C 2.2 where the measuredlargest, smallest
and mean function is seen altogether with ones calculated for different aerosol models, for 45 degrees
solar elevation. All calculated functions are below the measured mean one. The variability of the calculated
values is a factor of 5, while for the measured ones is about 10. The reason of difference between
the calculated and measured values is that, that the real cloudless atmosphere usually contains haze
particles too, while the model atmospheres are restricted to aerosol particles only. Figure C 2.3 shows
the smallest, mean and largest measured functions together with ones calculated for atmosphere including
haze particles too. Since the optical depth of haze contamination is very small, therefore the direct
and diffuse radiation changes slightly, but the circumsolar radiation might vary by several times.
