Estimating global solar radiation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A model is presented to calculate daily totals of global solar radiation. First, cloudless sky radiation is evaluated from transmission due to absorption and scattering. Cloud effects are added using cloud layer transmission. A simple expression to account for additional radiation due to reflection between the ground surface and cloud bases is also included. Atmospheric transmissions are obtained from previous studies. Precipitable water and observations of cloud type and amount for different layers in the atmosphere are the only meteorological variables required. The model is evaluated and tested with data collected at stations in and around Lake Ontario: a lake station near Grimsby in 1969 and land stations at Burlington, Scarborough, Peterborough, Trenton and Kingston, Ontario in 1972 and 1973 during the International Field Year for the Great Lakes. Good agreement between calculated and measured radiation was obtained at all stations, particularly for 5- and 10-day means. Model performance was largely independent of both cloud amount and season. 相似文献

Summary Knowledge of ultraviolet radiation is necessary in different applications, in the absence of measurements, this radiometric
flux must be estimated from available parameters. To compute this flux under all sky conditions one must consider the influence
of clouds. Clouds are the largest modulators of the solar radiative flux reaching the Earth’s surface. The amount and type
of cloud cover prevailing at a given time and location largely determines the amount and type of solar radiation received
at the Earth’s surface. This cloud radiative effect is different for the different solar spectral bands. In this work, we
analyse the cloud radiative effect over ultraviolet radiation (290–385 nm). This could be done by defining a cloud modification
Factor. We have developed such cloud modification Factor considering two different types of clouds. The efficiency of the
cloud radiative effect scheme has been tested in combination with a cloudless sky empirical model using independent data sets.
The performance of the model has been tested in relation to its predictive capability of global ultraviolet radiation. For
this purpose, data recorded at two radiometric stations are used. The first one is located at the University of Almería, a
seashore location (36.83° N, 2.41° W, 20 m a.m.s.l.), while the second one is located at Granada (37.18° N, 3.58° W, 660 m
a.m.s.l.), an inland location. The database includes hourly values of the relevant variables that cover the years 1993–94
in Almería and 1994–95 in Granada. Cloud cover information provided by the Spanish Meteorological Service has been include
to compute the clouds radiative effect. After our study, it appears that the combination of an appropriate cloudless sky model
with the cloud modification Factor scheme provides estimates of ultraviolet radiation with mean bias deviation of about 5%
that is close to experimental errors. Comparisons with similar formulations of the cloud radiative effect over the whole solar
spectrum provides evidence for the spectral dependency of the cloud radiative effect.

Summary Satellite-derived datasets are used to verify the cloud cover and radiation field generated by a T62 (horizontal resolution) version of the operational global model at the National Meteorological Centre (NMC). An ensemble of five day forecasts for July 1985 is used, as well as 30 day climatological forecasts for July 1985, October 1985, January 1986, and April 1986.Monthly averages of radiation fields are compared with Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) data. For the four months examined, clear-sky outgoing longwave radiation (clear-sky OLR) and absorbed shortwave radiation (clear-sky SW) tend to agree roughly with ERBE. Model global mean OLR, however, exceeds that of ERBE by 10 W m–2.Comparison of effective cloud cover to corresponding fields cataloged by the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP C1) reveals deficiencies in the amount of supersaturation cloudiness and the vertical distribution of convective clouds. Large inaccuracies in model radiation fields are closely related to deficiencies in the cloud parameterization. An inventory of model cloudiness, in comparison to satellite data, is conducted.With 18 Figures 相似文献

We propose a new model to estimate daily global radiation from daily temperature range measurements. This model combines that of Majumdar et al. (Sol Energy 13(4):383–394, 1972) to estimate clear sky radiation with a Gompertz function to estimate the relation between temperature range and cloud transmittance. Model parameters are estimated from historical weather data: maximum and minimum temperatures and, if available, relative humidity; no other calibration is required. The model was parametrized and validated using 788 weather stations in Mexico. When calibrated using historical humidity data, daily global radiation was estimated with a mean root mean square error of 3.06 MJ m?2 day?1. The model performed well in all situations, except for a few stations around the Gulf of Mexico and in mountain areas. When using estimated humidity, the root mean square error of prediction was only slightly degraded (3.07 MJ m?2 day?1). Possible theoretical basis and applicability of this model to other environments are discussed. 相似文献

Summary The high level cloudiness has increased over Alaska during the second half of this century, a period for which reliable data
exist. This increase is most pronounced in areas close to the much traveled air routes from Europe to Anchorage which could
be demonstrated by a comparison with two remote stations in western Alaska. This might be taken as an indication that the
observed high cloudiness increase is caused by jet contrails. Seasonally, summer and spring give the greatest increases. Cloudiness
is, of course, an important parameter for climatic change, and increased high level cloud amount in arctic and subarctic areas
would lead to warmer temperature; these have been observed in Alaska.

In the period 1960–2010, the land surface air temperature (SAT) warmed more rapidly over some regions relative to the global mean. Using a set of time-slice experiments, we highlight how different physical processes shape the regional pattern of SAT warming. The results indicate an essential role of anthropogenic forcing in regional SAT changes from the 1970s to 2000s, and show that both surface–atmosphere interactions and large-scale atmospheric circulation changes can shape regional responses to forcing. Single forcing experiments show that an increase in greenhouse gases can lead to regional changes in land surface warming in winter (DJF) due to snow-albedo feedbacks, and in summer (JJA) due to soil-moisture and cloud feedbacks. Changes in anthropogenic aerosol and precursor (AA) emissions induce large spatial variations in SAT, characterized by warming over western Europe, Eurasia, and Alaska. In western Europe, SAT warming is stronger in JJA than in DJF due to substantial increases in clear sky shortwave radiation over Europe, associated with decreases in local AA emissions since the 1980s. In Alaska, the amplified SAT warming in DJF is due to increased downward longwave radiation, which is related to increased water vapor and cloud cover. In this case, although the model was able to capture the regional pattern of SAT change, and the associated local processes, it did not simulate all processes and anomalies correctly. For the Alaskan warming, the model is seen to achieve the correct regional response in the context of a wider North Pacific anomaly that is not consistent with observations. This demonstrates the importance of model evaluation that goes beyond the target variable in detection and attribution studies. 相似文献

Summary In this study, spatial interpolation techniques have been applied to develop an objective climatic cartography of precipitation
in the Iberian Peninsula (583,551 km2). The resulting maps have a 200 m spatial resolution and a monthly temporal resolution. Multiple regression, combined with
a residual correction method, has been used to interpolate the observed data collected from the meteorological stations. This
method is attractive as it takes into account geographic information (independent variables) to interpolate the climatic data
(dependent variable). Several models have been developed using different independent variables, applying several interpolation
techniques and grouping the observed data into different subsets (drainage basin models) or into a single set (global model).
Each map is provided with its associated accuracy, which is obtained through a simple regression between independent observed
data and predicted values. This validation has shown that the most accurate results are obtained when using the global model
with multiple regression mixed with the splines interpolation of the residuals. In this optimum case, the average R
2 (mean of all the months) is 0.85. The entire process has been implemented in a GIS (Geographic Information System) which
has greatly facilitated the filtering, querying, mapping and distributing of the final cartography. 相似文献

Summary
In 1997 the Austrian ultraviolet radiation monitoring network was to built up to measure continuously erythemally-effective
ultraviolet radiation. For this network the necessary measuring sites had to be selected by an objective method. Therefore
a method was used, based on the de-correlation distances, calculated by the daily maximum of the global solar irradiance across
the entire spectrum. For a correlation coefficient of 0.90, de-correlation distances were found to be in the order of 170 km
(East-West) and 40 km (North-South). From this, 7 measuring sites wereselected to derive a total coverage of Austria.
For the visualisation of the measured erythemally-effective solar radiation an optimum interpolation method was used to calculate
the spatial distribution. The topography of Austria was used for height correction. The global solar radiation of 39 stations
is also used to include the spatial distribution of cloud cover and the resulting attenuation of the erythemally-effective
radiation. The combination of these two data sets provides an accuracy estimation of people’s exposure to erythemally-effective
UV radiation within the mountainous country of Austria.

Summary Global maps of the monthly mean net upward longwave radiation flux at the ocean surface have been obtained for April, July, October 1985 and January 1986. These maps were produced by blending information obtained from a combination of general circulation model cloud radiative forcing fields, the top-of-the-atmosphere cloud radiative forcing from ERBE and TOVS profiles and sea surface temperature on ISCCP C1 tapes. The fields are compatible with known meteorological regimes of atmospheric water vapor content and cloudiness. There is a vast area of high net upward longwave radiation flux (> 80 W m–2) in the eastern Pacific Ocean throughout most of the year. Areas of low net upward longwave radiation flux (< 40 Wm–2) are the tropical convective regions and extra tropical regions that tend to have persistent low cloud cover. The technique used in this study relies on GCM simulations and so is subject to some of the uncertainties associated with the model. However, all input information regarding temperature, moisture and cloud cover is from satellite data having near global coverage. This feature of the procedure alone warrants its consideration for further use in compiling global maps of the net longwave radiation at the surface over the oceans.With 9 Figures 相似文献

Summary Thin plate smoothing splines incorporating topographic dependence were used to interpolate daily global solar radiation in
the Bavarian forest ecosystem monitoring network, with the degree of data smoothing determined by minimizing the generalized
cross validation. A simple cross validation method was used to discuss the spatial distribution of mean relative errors at
18 forest climate stations. The results show that, from this network 14%–30% mean relative errors can be expected for most
of these forest climate stations in summer, and 20%–30% mean relative errors can be found at a few of forest climate stations
in winter. Time-averaging can reduce these interpolation errors. In this network a mean relative error of 10% can be expected
for weekly and biweekly mean solar radiation at most of forest climate stations in summer. Large errors are related to low
radiation amount under heavy cloud cover. Mean relative errors increase as daily global solar radiation decreases.

Summary Despite its importance to climate change, reliable and calibrated measurements of solar radiation are available only after
1992 for Australia. In this study we extend the data base from 1967 to 2004 by the development of a cloud-based solar radiation
model. Results show no significant change in the majority of stations, although slightly more than one quarter of the stations
report a significant decrease of solar radiation with a maximum of just less than one percent per decade. Trend analyses also
detect an upturn in many of the southern stations in the late eighties which appear to relate to changes in middle and high
cloud cover.

Summary A model that uses two parameters to describe the state of the sky is presented. The parameters are the total cloud amount
and a new two-value parameter – the sunshine number – stating whether the sun is covered or uncovered by clouds. Regression
formulae to compute instantaneous cloudy sky global and diffuse irradiance on a horizontal surface are proposed. Fitting these
relationships to Romanian data shows low bias errors for global radiation but larger errors for diffuse radiation. The model’s
accuracy is significantly higher than one based on total cloud amount alone. The model is used to generate time-series of
solar radiation data. A first approximate relationship, neglecting auto-correlation of the sunshine number, is used in the
computations.

Summary A set of the inhomogeneity factor for high-level clouds derived from the ISCCP D1 dataset averaged over a five-year period
has been incorporated in the UCLA atmospheric GCM to investigate the effect of cirrus cloud inhomogeneity on climate simulation.
The inclusion of this inhomogeneous factor improves the global mean planetary albedo by about 4% simulated from the model.
It also produces changes in solar fluxes and OLRs associated with changes in cloud fields, revealing that the cloud inhomogeneity
not only affects cloud albedo directly, but also modifies cloud and radiation fields. The corresponding difference in the
geographic distribution of precipitation is as large as 7 mm day−1. Using the climatology cloud inhomogeneity factor also produces a warmer troposphere related to changes in the cloudiness
and the corresponding radiative heating, which, to some extent, corrects the cold bias in the UCLA AGCM. The region around
14 km, however, is cooler associated with increase in the reflected solar flux that leads to a warmer region above. An interactive
parameterization for mean effective ice crystal size based on ice water content and temperature has also been developed and
incorporated in the UCLA AGCM. The inclusion of the new parameterization produces substantial differences in the zonal mean
temperature and the geographic distribution of precipitation, radiative fluxes, and cloud cover with respect to the control
run. The vertical distribution of ice crystal size appears to be an important factor controlling the radiative heating rate
and the consequence of circulation patterns, and hence must be included in the cloud-radiation parameterization in climate
models to account for realistic cloud processes in the atmosphere. 相似文献

The ability of a high resolution (T106) version of the ECHAM3 general circulation model to simulate regional scale surface radiative fluxes has been assessed using observations from a new compilation of worldwide instrumentally-measured surface fluxes (Global Energy Balance Archive, GEBA). The focus is on the European region where the highest density of observations is found, and their use for the validation of global and regional climate models is demonstrated. The available data allow a separate assessment of the simulated fluxes of surface shortwave, longwave, and net radiation for this region. In summer, the incoming shortwave radiation calculated by the ECHAM3/T106 model is overestimated by 45 W m–2 over most of Europe, which implies a largely unrealistic forcing on the model surface scheme and excessive surface temperatures. In winter, too little incoming shortwave radiation reaches the model surface. Similar tendencies are found over large areas of the mid-latitudes. These biases are consistent with deficiencies in the simulation of cloud amount, relative humidity and clear sky radiative transfer. The incoming longwave radiation is underestimated at the European GEBA stations predominantly in summer. This largely compensates for the excessive shortwave flux, leading to annual mean net radiation values over Europe close to observations due to error cancellation, a feature already noted in the simulated global mean values in an earlier study. Furthermore, the annual cycle of the simulated surface net radiation is strongly affected by the deficiencies in the simulated incoming shortwave radiation. The high horizontal resolution of the GCM allows an assessment of orographically induced flux gradients based on observations from the European Alps. Although the model-calculated and observed flux fields substantially differ in their absolute values, several aspects of their gradients are realistically captured. The deficiencies identified in the model fields are generally consistent at most stations, indicating a high degree of representativeness of the measurements for their larger scale setting. 相似文献

Summary The global distribution of the contrail coverage is computed for several scenarios of aviation in the years 2015 and 2050
and compared to 1992 using meteorological analysis data representative of present temperature and humidity conditions and
assuming 0.5% cover in a reference region 30° W–30° E, 35° N–75° N covering parts of western Europe and the North Atlantic.
The mean contrail coverage of the Earth is computed to increase by a factor of about three compared to 1992 and to reach 0.25%
in 2015. For three different scenarios of aviation and for constant climatic conditions, the global mean contrail coverage
reaches values between 0.26% and 0.75% for 2050. Contrail coverage increases more strongly than total fuel burn mainly because
of more traffic in the upper troposphere and because of more efficient engines with cooler exhaust. The overall efficiency
of propulsion is expected to grow from about 0.3 in the fleet average of 1992, to 0.4 in 2015, and to 0.5 in 2050. The expansion
of air traffic makes Canada, Alaska, the North Pacific route from North America to Japan and most of the Asian continent new
regions where contrails are expected to cover more than 0.5% on average.
