The ‘Mean Adjustment Factor’ on the calibration certificate is equivalent to the sensitivity of a pyranometer. It applies to specific Ozone column and Air-mass (solar elevation) values used as the standard test conditions. Data files are provided to correct the measured values for other Ozone and Air-mass conditions (see Radiation Amplification Factor).
