A dataset containing wavelengths at a 5 nm interval (300 nm to 830 nm) and the corresponding spectral energy irradiance normalized to 1 at 560 nm. Spectrum approximates the midday solar spectrum at middle latitude as 'corresponds' to the white point of a black body a 6504 K. Original data from CIE downloaded on 2024-11-30 The variables are as follows:

Usage

D50.illuminant.spct

Format

A source spectrum with 531 rows and 2 variables

  • w.length (nm)

  • s.e.irrad (rel. units)

Note

This and other CIE illuminant spectra can be downloaded from https://cie.co.at/data-tables as .CSV files.
