pvlib.irradiance.campbell_norman(zenith, transmittance, pressure=101325.0, dni_extra=1367.0)[source]#

Determine DNI, DHI, GHI from extraterrestrial flux, transmittance, and atmospheric pressure.

Parameters

  • zenith (pd.Series) – True (not refraction-corrected) zenith angles in decimal degrees. If Z is a vector it must be of the same size as all other vector inputs. Z must be >=0 and <=180.

  • transmittance (float) – Atmospheric transmittance between 0 and 1.

  • pressure (float, default 101325.0) – Air pressure

  • dni_extra (float, default 1367.0) – Direct irradiance incident at the top of the atmosphere.

Returns

irradiance (DataFrame) – Modeled direct normal irradiance, direct horizontal irradiance, and global horizontal irradiance in W/m^2
