Testing of the METSTAT Model

Testing of the METSTAT Model

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

The METSTAT model is a comprehensive model for estimating insolation on an hourly basis from cloud cover and other meteorological data. However, the METSTAT model does not reproduce the statistics found in measured daily data during periods of extensive cloud cover. In this study, METSTAT modeled estimates and mesaured hourly solar radiation data from Burns and Eugene Oregon are examined andcompared. A source of the discrepancy between the modeled and measured data is identified. Slight modifications to the METSTAT model that significantly reduce the discrepancy are demonstrated for the Burns and Eugene sites.
