Abstract

The Contractor will analyze data from sensors and equipment provided by Participant in order to provide the basis for understanding of the processes and rates for the formation of 'persistent' soiling (soiling not removed by rain). The resulting, data, technical report, and publications will provide the basis for Participant to improve it's predictive soiling model.
