C 4.5 Analytical solutions
Since there is not much a problem to assume a mean radiance for the range of 1º to 4º for z', the above
consideration can be solved analytically. The both ends on the angle range correspond sloping and
limiting angles, respectively. An advantage of an analytical consideration is a possibility to be able
to follow the entire process in one equation. Exercises of this kind often provide us an insight into a
new idea. The mean value for I(z') is designated as
For the sun at the zenith or for pyrheliometers,
where
Since z can not exceed the limiting angle and therefore, is very small, approximating the cosine function
with the polynomial development, it suffices to take the first two terms, and then
