Description of methods used for collection-generation of data: The experimental data for this dataset were gathered at Burgos by the research group:Swift. The experimental variables were recorded with a CAMPBELL CR3000 datrary. Also, the following equipment were used: - Hukseflux SR11 pyranometers - Hukseflux DR01 pyrheliometer. - SONA201D All-Sky Camera-Day from Sieltec Canarias - MS-321LR sky scanner, from EKO The pyranometers and the pyrheliometer are classified as “first class” in the ISO classification (ISO 9060:1990) The calibration and the management of the meteorological facility is done following ISO (1992) and the WMO Guide to Meteorological Instruments and Methods of Observation (WMO, 2008. (Updated 2010)). Global, diffuse, and beam data are recorded every ten minutes. The sky-scanner (EKO) completes a full scan in four minutes. The rejected values, according to the Comission Internationale de L’Eclairage, [3] are; -999999; -444444; -222222; -111111; -777777; 0 [3] Comission Internationale de L’Eclairage, “Guide to recommended practice of daylight measurement, CIE 108-1994,” Color Res.
