Assessing the WRF-Solar Model Performance Using Satellite-Derived Irradiance from the National Solar Radiation Database

Pedro A. Jimenez et al.

Summary: WRF-Solar is a numerical weather prediction model specifically designed for accurate solar irradiance forecasting. This study analyzes the adequacy of the National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB) to validate and improve the performance of WRF-Solar. The study also examines the forecast errors, sensitivity to grid spacing and radiative effects of unresolved clouds in WRF-Solar. Results show that GHI retrievals have the potential to contribute to increasing the performance of WRF-Solar.

Assessing the WRF-Solar Model Performance Using Satellite-Derived Irradiance from the National Solar Radiation Database

Pedro A. Jimenez et al.

Summary: WRF-Solar is a numerical weather prediction model designed for accurate solar irradiance forecasting, with flexibility in representing aerosol-cloud-radiation processes. The National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB) is sufficient for validating WRF-Solar performance, revealing a systematic overestimation of GHI across the contiguous United States (CONUS).
