A New Benchmark for Surface Radiation Products over the East Asia-Pacific Region Retrieved from the Himawari-8/AHI Next-Generation Geostationary Satellite

Husi Letu et al.

Summary: Surface downward radiation (SDR), consisting of shortwave downward radiation (SWDR) and longwave downward radiation (LWDR), plays a crucial role in energy and climate studies. This study derived high-resolution SWDR and LWDR data for the East Asia-Pacific (EAP) region from 2016 to 2020 using the next-generation geostationary satellite Himawari-8 (H-8). The new SDR product considers all-sky features, cloud effects, and the influence of aerosol loading and topography on SWDR. Compared to benchmark products, the new SDR product has significantly higher resolution and accuracy, making it a valuable resource for research.

Physics-guided machine learning for improved accuracy of the National Solar Radiation Database

Grant Buster et al.

Summary: The National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB) is a database that provides high-resolution spatiotemporal solar irradiance data for the entire globe. It uses a Physical Solar Model (PSM) to calculate the effects of clouds and other atmospheric variables on solar radiation. Recent improvements to the NSRDB involve physics-guided machine learning methods for cloud property retrieval, resulting in significant improvements in the accuracy of the irradiance data.

Irradiance-to-power conversion based on physical model chain: An application on the optimal configuration of multi-energy microgrid in cold climate

Wenting Wang et al.

Summary: This article focuses on the optimal configuration of multi-energy microgrid in cold climate, with a specific emphasis on the modeling of photovoltaic (PV) power output. By using a physical model chain and mixed integer linear programming, a microgrid configuration is proposed that includes residential and commercial buildings, energy converters, and storage devices. The results of the case study suggest that traditional PV models tend to overestimate power production, and thermoelectric coupling is favorable for the use of combined heat and power (CHP) units in cold climate.

Evaluation of MERRA-2 hourly surface solar radiation across China

Yunfei Du et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of MERRA-2's global horizontal irradiance (GHI) in China by comparing it with ground station observations. The results show that MERRA-2 overestimates GHI in all-sky, clear-sky, and cloudy conditions. The underestimation of cloud fraction is identified as the dominant factor causing the overestimation of MERRA-2 GHI.

Revealing Bias of Cloud Radiative Effect in WRF Simulation: Bias Quantification and Source Attribution

Yunpeng Shan et al.

Summary: Accurate prediction of cloud radiative effect is crucial for weather forecast, climate projection, and solar energy production. In this study, the capability of the WRF model to simulate solar irradiance was evaluated in a remote region of north China. The results showed systematic underestimation of the cloud radiative effect, with three identified error sources: incorrect cloud occurrence prediction, underestimated cloud condensate mass, and simplified parameterization of solar irradiance extinction.

Deep Learning Estimation of Daily Ground-Level NO2 Concentrations From Remote Sensing Data

Masoud Ghahremanloo et al.

Summary: This study utilized the TROPOMI satellite instrument and Deep-CNN to estimate daily surface NO2 concentrations in Texas in 2019, achieving high levels of accuracy in correlation and agreement. The SHAP results demonstrated that the Deep-CNN model had an advanced understanding of the dataset, showing superiority in surface NO2 estimation. Comparisons with other machine learning and regression models revealed the Deep-CNN's superior accuracy, with support vector machines and random forest models ranking second and third, respectively, and multiple linear regression performing the poorest. Additionally, the Deep-CNN model required a larger sample size to demonstrate its strength in surface NO2 estimation compared to other models.
