Horizon Brightness Revisited: Measurements and a Model

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

To the uninitiated, the clear daytime sky seems such a commonplace that its radiance and brightness distribution surely must be well known. Researchers in fields ranging from solar energy engineering1,2 to atmospheric optics3,4 have repeatedly measured and modeled the angular distribution of clear-sky radiances, and they have published scores of papers on the subject. What can be left to know?
