** SPECTRUM:
   Total (0-100 m) Extraterrestrial Irradiance used here = 1367.00 W/m2
  (i.e., 1.0000 times the selected solar constant, 1367.00 W/m2, due to the actual Sun-Earth distance.)
   Source for selected solar spectrum: Gueymard_2004                                                   

 To account for the chosen Solar Constant value, the selected solar spectrum has been uniformly multiplied
 by this scaling coefficient = 1.0007
