Description
Summary:Detailed description of the solar resource (spatial distribution and temporal variations) is highly desirable in the context of climate monitoring, agricultural planning and energy technologies; however, one shortcoming is the low density of solarimetric networks in many extended regions. Satellite-based estimations have become a potential key tool, provided their data show adequate temporal frequency, high resolution and acceptable accuracy. GL1.2 Model currently runs at Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (CPTEC/INPE), based on GOES VIS channel imagery. It was tested for characterizing solar radiation regime over Pampa Region in Argentina, which extends over more than 600,000 km2. Comparison with time series of nine stations of the Pampa network in the period 2011–2018 showed close agreement for daily mean irradiance using 10-days as well as monthly values (mean bias error generally |MBE|
