Not all unphysical data may have been flagged as such, and spectral calibration is an estimate based on a simple modelled spectrum. This modelled spectrum is a standard tropical atmosphere without aerosols, and is not run with observed profiles except an ERA5 estimate of total column water vapour. Please refer to 'extras' for technical validation of the spectral calibration method, and LibRadtran input/output files.</p> <p>A production (1.0) version will be released as soon data is fully validated.</p> <p>Lower-end uncertainty can be estimated by looking at the sensor to sensor spread at wavelength level during the calibration measurements. In the calibration phase, all sensors were co-located and homogenized at wavelength level. The 13:50 to 14:10 UTC time on August 7 is the reference frame for spectral calibration.&nbsp;</p> <p>Other sources of uncertainty are difficult to quantify due to measurements taking place in a very heteregeneous forest. These uncertainties relate primarily to the less-than-perfect placement of sensors on the towers in comparison to the reference calibration phase.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sensor 18 is only available in raw data or calibrated data.

CAELUS: Classification of sky conditions from 1-min time series of global solar irradiance using variability indices and dynamic thresholds

<p>CAELUS, a novel classification algorithm that relies on various thresholds to separate all possible sky conditions into six classes, is presented in Ruiz-Arias and Gueymard (2023, doi: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2023.111895">10.1016/j.solener.2023.111895</a>).</p> <p>This dataset was used to develop, validate and benchmark CAELUS. It is made up by 1-min quality-assured observations of global horizontal irradiance (GHI)&nbsp;and diffuse horizontal irradiance&nbsp;at 54 stations of the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) archive, which is publicly available (see download instructions in https://bsrn.awi.de/data). The dataset includes&nbsp;5 years of data per station, except in two of them (Petrolina, Brazil, and Solar Village, Saudi Arabia), combined with other variables that are required to run CAELUS, namely: solar zenith angle (sza), extraterrestrial horizontal solar irradiance (eth), clear-sky GHI (ghics) and GHI in a clean and dry atmosphere (ghicda). In addition, the dataset also provides the sky classification obtained with CAELUS.</p> <p>Further details about CAELUS and the dataset compilation is available in Ruiz-Arias and Gueymard (2023, doi:&nbsp;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2023.111895">10.1016/j.solener.2023.111895</a>).

Simulated top-of-atmosphere (120 km) downward and upward solar and thermal-infrared irradiances and ice cloud optical thickness; calculated solar, TIR and net cloud radiative effect. Simulated with ice crystal properties for aggregates, droxtals, and plates based on Yang (2013).

<p>This dataset consists of three .nc files for ice crystal shapes of aggregates, plates, and droxtals. The files include ice cloud optical thickness <span class="math-tex">\(\tau\)</span> (550nm), the simulated upward and downward irradiances <span class="math-tex">\(F\)</span> at the top-of-atmosphere (with and without the presence of the ice cloud), and the calculated ice cloud radiative effect <span class="math-tex">\(\Delta F\)</span> (solar [0.3-3.5 <span class="math-tex">\(\mu\)</span>m], thermal-infrared [3.5-75 <span class="math-tex">\(\mu\)</span>m], and net). The data set allows the user to extract <span class="math-tex">\(\Delta F\)</span> values for their parameter combinations. The available cloudy and cloud-free irradiances further allow to calculate the cirrus radiative effect (RE) by scaling the &#39;cloudy&#39; RE with the required cloud cover. This serves as a first-approximation because, as 3D effects are neglected.</p>

Girasol, a sky imaging and global solar irradiance dataset

<p>The energy available in Micro Grid (MG) that is powered by solar energy is tightly related to the weather conditions in the moment of generation. Very short-term forecast of solar irradiance provides the MG with the capability of automatically controlling the dispatch of energy. We propose to achieve this using a data acquisition systems (DAQ) that simultaneously records sky imaging and Global Solar Irradiance (GSI) measurements, with the objective of extracting features from clouds and use them to forecast the power produced by a Photovoltaic (PV) system. The DAQ system is nicknamed as the <em>Girasol Machine</em> (Girasol means Sunflower in Spanish). The sky imaging system consists of a longwave infrared (IR) camera and a visible (VI) light camera with a fisheye lens attached to it. The cameras are installed inside a weatherproof enclosure that it is mounted on an outdoor tracker. The tracker updates its pan an tilt every second using a solar position algorithm to maintain the Sun in the center of the IR and VI images. A pyranometer is situated on a horizontal support next to the DAQ system to measure GSI. The dataset, composed of IR images, VI images, GSI measurements, and the Sun's positions, has been tagged with timestamps.</p>

WRF-Solar AOD550 & Clear-Sky Irradiance Forecasts & Verifying Observations over CONUS

<p>This dataset is fully described in and is a companion of Lee et al. (2022):</p> <p>Lee, J. A., P. A. Jim&eacute;nez, J. Dudhia, and Y.-M. Saint-Drenan, 2023: Impacts of the aerosol representation in WRF-Solar clear-sky irradiance forecasts over CONUS. J. Appl. Meteor. Climatol., 62, 227&ndash;250, https://doi.org/10.1175/JAMC-D-22-0059.1.</p> <p>Aerosol optical depth (AOD) is a primary source of solar irradiance forecast error in clear-sky conditions. Improving the accuracy of AOD in NWP models like WRF will thus reduce error in both direct normal irradiance (DNI) and global horizontal irradiance (GHI), which should improve solar power forecast errors, at least in cloud-free conditions. In this study clear-sky GHI and DNI was analyzed from four configurations of the WRF-Solar model with different aerosol representations: 1) The default Tegen climatology; 2) Imposing AOD forecasts from the GEOS-5 model; 3) Imposing AOD forecasts from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) model; and 4) The Thompson-Eidhammer aerosol-aware water/ice-friendly aerosol climatology. Over eight months of these 15-min output forecasts are compared against high-quality irradiance observations at NOAA SURFRAD and Solar Radiation (SOLRAD) stations located across CONUS. In general, WRF-Solar with GEOS-5 AOD had the lowest errors in clear-sky DNI, while WRF-Solar with CAMS AOD had the highest errors, higher even than the two aerosol climatologies, which is consistent with validation of the four AOD550 datasets against AERONET stations. For clear-sky GHI, the statistics differed little between the four models, as expected due to the lesser sensitivity of GHI to aerosol loading. Hourly-average clear-sky DNI and GHI was also analyzed, and additionally compared with CAMS model output directly. CAMS irradiance performed competitively with the best WRF-Solar configuration (with GEOS-5 AOD). The markedly different performance of CAMS versus WRF-Solar with CAMS AOD indicates that CAMS is apparently less sensitive to AOD550 than WRF-Solar is.</p> <p>wrf_aeronet_aod550_by_cycle_20191119-20200730.nc:</p> <p>NetCDF, 317 MB</p> <p>WRF-Solar AOD550 spatially interpolated to AERONET stations and AERONET observed AOD550.

Solar Irradiance (GHI and DNI) for Folsom, CA (lat=38.642N, lon=121.148W)

<p>Solar Irradiance (GHI and DNI) for Folsom, CA (lat=38.642N, lon=121.148W).<br> The file is in comma-separated values format.</p> <p>The file has three columns:<br> 1- Timestamp in UTC in the format yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS<br> 2- GHI measurement in W/m<sup>2</sup><br> 3-&nbsp;DNI measurement in W/m<sup>2</sup></p> <p>The GHI and DNI data included in this data release are measured with a second-generation RSR (RSR-2) from Augustyn, Inc.<br> The RSR-2 consists of a main shadowband head unit and two Licor LI-200SZ pyranometers, which have a typical error of &plusmn;5% compared to an Eppley Precision Spectral Pyranometer (PSP)[https://www.licor.com/].<br> The primary pyranometer provides continuous measurement of GHI, while the secondary pyranometer and shadowband enable measurement of the diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI).<br> DNI is computed directly from the GHI, DHI, and solar zenith angle (<span class="math-tex">\(\theta_z\)</span>).</p>
