Validation of the NSRDB-SUNY global horizontal irradiance in California

Journal Article Nottrott, Anders ; Kleissl, Jan - Solar Energy

Satellite derived global horizontal solar irradiance (GHI) from the SUNY modeled dataset in the National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB) was compared to measurements from 27 weather stations in California during the years 1998-2005. The statistics of spatial and temporal differences between the two datasets were analyzed and related to meteorological phenomena. Overall mean bias errors (MBE) of the NSRDB-SUNY indicated a GHI overprediction of 5%, which is smaller than the sensor accuracy of ground stations. However, at coastal sites, year-round systematic positive MBEs in the NSRDB-SUNY data up to 18% were observed and monthly MBEs increased up to 54% inmore »« less

Effect of Kuwait's oil-fire smoke cloud on global horizontal irradiance at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia

Journal Article Elhadidy, M A ; Shaahid, S M - Solar Energy (Journal of Solar Energy Science and Engineering); (United States)

The influence of Kuwait's 1991 Oil-Fire smoke cloud on incident total horizontal solar radiation has been investigated using measurements made at the automatic solar radiation and meteorological monitoring station in Dhahran (26[degrees] 32'N, 50[degrees] 13'E), Saudi Arabia. Results indicate that the global horizontal irradiance on smoky days was 70-87% of that on clear/non-smoky days and that the Clearness Index was about 50%.

How does increasing horizontal resolution in a global climate model improve the simulation of aerosol-cloud interactions?

Journal Article Ma, Po-Lun ; Rasch, Philip J. ; Wang, Minghuai ; ... - Geophysical Research Letters

Abstract The Community Atmosphere Model Version 5 is run at horizontal grid spacing of 2, 1, 0.5, and 0.25°, with the meteorology nudged toward the Year Of Tropical Convection analysis, and cloud simulators and the collocated A‐Train satellite observations are used to explore the resolution dependence of aerosol‐cloud interactions. The higher‐resolution model produces results that agree better with observations, showing an increase of susceptibility of cloud droplet size, indicating a stronger first aerosol indirect forcing (AIF), and a decrease of susceptibility of precipitation probability, suggesting a weaker second AIF. The resolution sensitivities of AIF are attributed to those of dropletmore »« less
