To study these effects at local scale, a radiation station was set up, which used two CM21 Kipp & Zonen pyranometers (one inverted), and two CG1 Kipp & Zonen pyrgeometers (one inverted) in Logan, Utah, USA. The pyranometers and pyrgeometers were ventilated using four CV2 Kipp & Zonen ventilation systems. Ventilation of pyranometers and pyrgeometers prevent dew, frost and snow accumulation, which otherwise would disturb the measurement. Knowing that available energy (Rn) as Rn = Rsi - Rso + Rli - Rio where Rsi and Rso are downward and upward solar radiation, respectively, and Rli and Rio as atmospheric and terrestrial, respectively, the effects of cloudiness were evaluated on a daily and annual basis. The results indicate that for the partly cloudy days of 4 and 5 September, 2007, cloudiness caused less available energy (Rn) in the amounts of-1.83 MJ·m^-2·d^-1 and -3.83 MJ·m^-2·d^-1 on these days, respectively. As shown, due to cloudiness at the experimental site, the net radiation loss was 2,804 - 4,055 = -1,251 MJ·m^-2·d^-1, which indicates a negative feedback due to cloudiness.展开更多
