Value 198 - 30 168 324* -390** -66 102
* LW
in
value assumes a sky temperature of 2ºC.
** LW
out
value assumes a surface temperature of 14ºC.
The LW radiation values in Table 2.5-1 are corrected for sensor
temperature. The values in Table 2.5-2 are not corrected for
sensor temperature.
NOTE
On a smaller timescale, the most important factors are:
• solar position
• cloud cover
The ambient air temperature is less important because cloud base temperature
tends to follow surface temperature.

The table makes a distinction between the day and night (D/N), cloudy and
clear (CD / CR) conditions, and high and low ambient air temperatures.
The instrument temperature is normally close to air temperature.
