Abstract
Abstract— We present an improved analytic characterization of diffuse spectral irradiance (skylight) for the wavelength range 280–380 nm and solar zenith angle range from 0 to 85°. The formulas achieve greater accuracy by (a) focusing on ratio representations and (b) adjusting the parameters to the more precise radiative transfer calculations of Dave, Braslau and Halpern.Keywords
