Optical radiation Global Radiation: The global radiation is a measuring varia-ble that is especially important for envi-ronmental research. It represents the enti-re diffuse and direct sun radiation that strikes the surface of the earth. The spec-tral range covers wavelengths from the short-wave range, at 300nm (UV-B), to.
