- 2: Planning, Site all, Fri 04-Jan-2002 10:08:30 MST, Site layout considerations
IHOP layout of Flux-PAM mast, radiation stand, and solar panels
IHOP latitude ~ Oklahoma/Kansas border = 37 deg N.
Operation dates: May 1 - June 30
Need to place radiation stand and solar panels beyond shadow of
10m mast.
Daytime shadows extend north of sunrise/sunset azimuths + 180 deg.
Sunrise/sunset azimuths
-----------------------
Date 35 deg N latitude 40 deg N latitude
---- ----------------- -----------------
May 1 73/287 72/288
June 22 60/300 58/302
Thus okay to place radstand or solar panels south of 58/302 + 180 =
122-238 deg.
If radstand and mast are placed more than 8.5 m from the mast,
shadow of mast will not reach them for solar elevation > 50 deg.
Azimuth for solar elevation of 50 deg
-------------------------------------
Date 35 deg N latitude 40 deg N latitude
---- ----------------- -----------------
May 1 112/248 119/241
June 22 95/265 102/258
Thus okay to place radstand or solar panels north of 119/241 + 180 =
61-299 deg.
Conclusion
----------
Excluded azimuths for radstand and solar panels with respect to
the Flux-PAM mast are 61-122 degrees and 238-299 degrees,
roughly 30 degrees N&S of E&W.
Note that the rain gauge should if possible be placed north of the
radiation stand to avoid shading the ground under the radiometers.
