Dayboro Solar Energy (w/m²)

This page shows the average windspeed in m/s based upon 391902 in the data base.

This equivelant to 1497 days, due to data errors and station breakdowns not all the days since 2004 are in the database.

What we call “current solar radiation” is technically known as Global Solar Radiation, a measure of the intensity of the sun’s radiation reaching a horizontal surface. This irradiance includes both the direct component from the sun and the reflected component from the rest of the sky. The solar radiation reading gives a measure of the amount of solar radiation hitting the solar radiation sensor at any given time, expressed in Watts/sq. meter w/m².

Sunshine used interchangeably with the more precise term bright sunshine, when the sun casts an obvious shadow. The World Meteorological Organization defines sunshine as solar direct irradiance exceeding 120 w/m²

Sunshine Duration

The length of time for which the sun casts an obvious shadow. The threshold tolerance for bright sunshine (based on World Meteorological Organization) is direct irradiance of 120 w/m² plus or minus 20%.
