Popis: An alternative formulation of the Langley plot relating observed solar irradiance, extraterrestrial solar irradiance, and air mass has been suggested to potentially improve radiometer calibration accuracy. In this study, results from the traditional and alternative plotting methods are compared using both simulated and measured data. The simulations indicate that their relative accuracies depend on the time scale of the atmospheric extinction fluctuations. The two methods are found to be essentially equivalent with the measured data.
