SMARTS 2.9.2

SMARTS 2.9.2 is used to generate ASTM terrestrial reference spectra for ASTM Standard G-173-03 Standard Tables for Reference Solar Spectral Irradiances at Air Mass 1.5: Direct Normal and Hemispherical for a 37 Tilted Surface. This standard specifies the input parameters for computing reference spectra or a close approximation of historical reference spectra from 1987 to 2003.
