Long‐term meteorological measurements in Snowdonia with a resilient solar‐powered system

Automated meteorological measurements from northern Snowdonia, particularly Snowdon Summit (1085m), are described and presented here for the first time. In particular, a long time series of radiative measurements has been acquired. Up‐ and down‐welling shortwave global solar irradiance and longwave...

Description
Summary:Automated meteorological measurements from northern Snowdonia, particularly Snowdon Summit (1085m), are described and presented here for the first time. In particular, a long time series of radiative measurements has been acquired. Up‐ and down‐welling shortwave global solar irradiance and longwave irradiance, including surface reflectivity (albedo) from Snowdon Summit and the nearby site Marchlyn Mawr (660m) since 2004 are described and discussed.
