  4. Bergholter and Dehne (1992) showed the possibility to measure global, diffuse and direct solar radiation with one instrument the so called SCAnning Pyrheliometer/Pyranaometer (SCAPP) • in future the radiation network of the German Weather Service will consist of about 30 manned stations using pyranometers (basic network) and an extending one of about 130 automatic (unmanned) stations applying the SCAPP TECO, Bucharest, 04.-07.05.2005 Scapp 04

  5. Head and sensor module of the SCAPP consist of a spherical sector diaphragm (1), a diffuser (2), a beam-guide (3), two filter slides KG4 (4a), BG34 (4b) glass and a photodetector (5). weight: 5 kg height: 260 mm diameter: 185 mm data transmission via RS232 or RS422/485 The SCAPP as it is used for measuring direct, diffuse and global solar radiation as well as sunshine duration.

  6. SCAPP needs more than one factor for the correct calculation of the different radiation quantities • a basic sensitivity of diffuse radiation • diffuse radiation inside the SCAPP depends on direct radiation • a correction factor for the diffuse radiation is necessary • a sensitivity of the direct radiation has to be determined • SCAPP calibration has to be made outside using the Sun as source • direct and diffuse solar radiation have to be measured in parallel with the registration of the voltage of the SCAPP Schematic courses of the SCAPP signal during one rotation of the head describing different conditions (a) and (b).

  7. Reference instruments: • CH1 960129 • CM22 020073 • CM22 020074 • voltages were recorded by a COMBILOG data logger and then converted into irradiances • SCAPP data were converted by its own microprocessor • all data stored as 1 minute means Radiation platform at the Meteorological Observatory Lindenberg with the reference instruments from the BSRN station for the comparison with the SCAPP.

  14. Conclusions: • The comparison showed that the measurements of the SCAPP in most cases are • in good agreement with the results of the reference instruments. • At lower global radiation (about <75 W/m²) the SCAPP results are frequently to • low in comparison with the reference. In future this will be improved. • The SCAPP is a multisensor of „Moderate quality“, which is suitable for radiation • measurements where highest quality is not demanded.
