Calibration of Ångström-Prescott Equation to Estimate Daily Solar Radiation on Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil

Abstract Knowledge of solar radiation is required for many applications. However, this atmospheric variable is not measured with an adequate space resolution. In this sense, to sites where solar radiation data are not directly measure, estimative using Ångström-Prescott equation can be used in order...

description Abstract Knowledge of solar radiation is required for many applications. However, this atmospheric variable is not measured with an adequate space resolution. In this sense, to sites where solar radiation data are not directly measure, estimative using Ångström-Prescott equation can be used in order to provide solar radiation data, with input of sunshine duration. Thus, the objective of present study was to calibrate the Ångström-Prescott equation for different sites in Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil. The performance of the calibrated Ångström-Prescott equation was evaluated by comparing of daily global solar radiation observed in situ. The MBE (Mean Bias Error) was lower than 1.50 MJ m-2 day-1, the Pearson's correlation coefficient about 0.90 and Willmott's index of agreement higher than 0.90, which are considered satisfactory. Resumo Conhecimento da radiação solar é necessária para muitas aplicações. No entanto, esta variável atmosférica não é medida com uma resolução espacial adequada. Neste sentido, nos locais onde os dados da radiação solar não são medidos diretamente, a equação de Ångström-Prescott pode ser usada a fim de fornecer dados de radiação solar, com base na insolação. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi calibrar a equação de Ångström-Prescott para diferentes locais no Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. O desempenho da equação Ångström-Prescott calibrada foi avaliada através da comparação da radiação solar global diária observada in situ. O MBE foi menor que 1,50 MJ m-2 dia-1, o coeficiente de correlação de Pearson cerca de 0,90 e índice de concordância de Willmott foi superior a 0,90, que são considerados satisfatórios.
