IPC-XII Davos, September/October 2015 Pyrgeometers at BSRN Cabauw 3 K&Z CG4 - s/n : reduced sensitivity (BSRN: 2005 – 2011) - s/n : standard pyrgeometer (BSRN: 2011 – now) - S1 is special with non-standard dome * Calibrations: 2003, 2006, 2008, 2012 Nighttime comparisons (only BSRN DL is shaded) * Appl Opt Oct 20;46(30):

IPC-XII Davos, September/October 2015 Downward longwave irradiance is calculated according to: Pyrgeometers at BSRN Cabauw

IPC-XII Davos, September/October a ( K&Z 2003) – 2 ( PMOD 2006) Period: 2005 – 2011/11 1 data point = nightly average DL BSRN Cabauw: 2 pyrgeometers

IPC-XII Davos, September/October 2015 DL BSRN Cabauw Bias: 0.13 ± 1.52 W/m 2 Bias: 3.85 ± 1.48 W/m 2 Calibrations: K&Z – PMOD Calibrations: PMOD – PMOD

IPC-XII Davos, September/October 2015 Consequences & action for BSRN Calibration: K&Z > WISG, bias = 3.85 W/m 2 Backward application of 2012 PMOD calibration of CG removes the bias and is consistent with S1 (2008 PMOD calibration). Action: application of 2012 calibration to (2005 – 2011) November 2011 CG K&Z 2003 CG K&Z 2006 BSRN DL bias (W/m 2 )
