Introduction
Analysis of the core content of the standard
| Parameters | QX/T 368-2016 | WMO 1981 | ASTM E490-00a |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solar constant | 1366.1 W/m²±0.0425% | 1367 W/m²±7 W/m² | 1366.1 W/m² |
| Spectral range | 0.1195-1000μm | 0.25-25μm | 0.1195-1000μm |
| Data source | 6 satellites (1978-1998) | Ground-based observations | Multi-platform fusion data |
Evolution of key technologies
This standard uses satellite observation data from absolute radiometers and spectral radiometers. Compared with the 1981 WMO standard:
- Uncertainty increased from ±0.5% to ±0.0425%
- Spectral resolution increased 100 times
- The ultraviolet band extends to 0.1195μm
Implementation and application suggestions
Meteorological field: When used for radiation transfer model input, it is recommended to give priority to the 0.3-3μm band data in Table 1 (accounting for 97.7% of the total solar radiation)
Aerospace engineering: Thermal balance experiments should focus on:
- The impact of the ultraviolet band (<0.4μm) on material aging
- The heat load of the near infrared (0.7-1.1μm) on the temperature control system
Unit conversion guide
The solar constant 1366.1 W/m² is equivalent to:
- 1.959 cal/(cm²·min) (thermochemical calorie)
- 433.4 Btu/(ft²·h)
- 1.956 Langley/min
