This irradiance must be estimated in order to obtain accurate values of land-surface temperature (LST). There are some fast methods to measure the HDI with a single measurement pointing to the sky at a specified viewing direction, but these methods require completely cloud-free or cloudy skies, and they do not account for the radiative contribution of surrounding elements. Another method is the use of a diffuse reflectance panel (usually, a rough gold-coated surface) with near-Lambertian behavior. This method considers the radiative contribution of surrounding elements and can be used under any sky condition. A third possibility is the use of atmospheric profiles and a radiative transfer code (RTC) in order to simulate the atmospheric signal and to calculate the HDI by integration. This study compares the HDI estimations with these approaches, using measurements made on four different days with a completely clear sky and two days with a partially cloudy sky. The measurements were made with a four-channel CIMEL Electronique radiometer working in the 8–14-u spectral range. The HDI was also estimated by means of National Centers for Environmental Prediction atmospheric profiles introduced in the MODTRAN RTC. Additionally, the measurements were made at two different places with very different environments to quantify the effect of the contributing surroundings. Results showed that, for a clear-sky day with a minimal contribution of the surroundings, all methods differed from each other between 5% and 11%, depending on the spectral range, and any of them could be used to estimate HDI in these conditions. However, in the case of making surface measurements in an area with significant surrounding elements (buildings, trees, etc.), HDI values retrieved from the panel present an increase of +3 W . m-2 . um-1} compared with the other methods; this increase, if ignored, implies to make an error in LST ranging from +0.5°C to +1.5°C, depending on the spectral range and on surface emissivity and temperature. Comparison under heterogeneous skies with changing cloud coverage showed also large differences between the use of panel and the other methods, reaching a maximum difference of +4.6W . m-2 . um-1, which implies to make an error on LST of +2.2°C. In these cases, the use of the diffuse reflectance panel is proposed, since it is the unique way to capture the contribution of the surroundings and also to adequately measure HDI for sky changing conditions.
