Supplementing radiation network data by cokriging with satellite images

Abstract

April 1982 observations from the Swiss meteorological network are used to assess the accuracy of global horizontal insolation predictions with geostatistical methods. Results of such predictions are compared to insolation estimates obtained from the imagery of the meteorological satellite METEOSAT. Application of Kriging to the network data yields cross validation results which are very close to the validation of the satellite estimate, viz. unbiased prediction with about 3 MJm{sup -2} Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) on a daily total Measured Mean (MM) of 18.8 MJm{sup -2}. Cokriging applied to both data sets helps to reduce the RMSE to about 2.5 MJm{sup -2}. (author) 3 figs., 3 tabs., 13 refs.
