Pacific Northwest Solar Radiation Data book This book contains a great deal of useful information pertinent to the measurement of solar radiation. Also included are some things, such as data sets and information about our monitoring stations, which you'll find somewhat dated in comparison with other resources available on this Web site. The entire book, with the exception of the data sets is in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). The data sets are plain ASCII text. Table of Contents [4K] Title Page & Sponsors [84KB] Forward & I.
