Sentences with phrase «irradiance measurements»
"Irradiance measurements" refers to the process of measuring the amount of radiant energy (such as light or heat) that is received per unit area over a given period of time. In simple terms, it is about measuring the amount of energy coming from a source, like the sun, onto a specific surface. Full definition
