During SUCCESS two independent and independently calibrated spectrometers were deployed at a surface site to determine the spectrally resolved downwelling solar irradiance. Preliminary evidence shows that for cloud-free conditions there is general agreement between measurements and model derived irradiance, at least to within instrumental and model uncertainties of 5%, with greatest disagreement occurring in the 400 nm-700 nm band. Cirrus effects are most prominent in the near-infrared bands beyond 1500 nm while the influence of very thin (subvisual) cirrus is evident in the scattered flux at the surface. Further remote sensing applications and the assessment of cloud absorption is contingent upon measurements of the surface spectral albedo.
