Performance of the REST2 model for 1-minute clear-sky solar irradiance with MERRA-2 atmospheric inputs.

Russo, Paola - Laguarda, Agustín - Abal, Gonzalo - Piccioli, Inti

Resumen:

The broadband irradiances (GHI,DHI,DNI) and the photo synthetically active radiation (PAR) estimated by the REST2 clear skymodel are evaluated against1-minute high quality ground measurements for one site representative of the Pampa Húmeda region of southeastern SouthAmerica.The MERRA-2 reanalysis database is used to provide the required atmospheric inputs for the model (watervapor, aerosolcontent, ozone). Our results show an acceptable performance for GHI, DNI and PAR but a high uncertainty in the estimated DHI.
