Abstract

Among the various characteristics that determine the overall accuracy and  performance of a pyranometer, the strict adherence to the cosine law is an important one. But this cosine response is difficult to realize and to correct for, The cosine response of various types of pyranormeters available at Pune was determined on the optical set up in Central Radiation Laboratory. The results of these studies are presented briefly.
