Quality assessment of CAMS radiation service versus ground stations | Last update: Dec. 2017 |
Validation performed by SoDa |
This section follows the protocol of validation described here on SoDa. The 1 min BSRN station measurements have been priorly qualified using the quality check procedure available here.
| CAMS | Regular quaterly validation reports (CAMS website) | - | Validation results |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 BSRN stations | 14 Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) stations spread in the Meteosat 2nd generation coverage, 1 min values. These results takes into account the CAMS radiation bias correction and McClear version 3 available since Oct. 2017 | Validation results | |
| Take a look to obsolete prior validation results (=no bias correction and McClear v2) | |||
| 31 INMET stations | 31 stations from the Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET), hourly values (NB: obsolete since these statistics doesn't take into account the bias correction and McClear v3 available since Oct. 2017) | - | Validation results |
| 11 INPE stations | 11 stations from the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE), 1 min values (NB: obsolete since these statistics doesn't take into account the bias correction and McClear v3 available since Oct. 2017) | - | Validation results |
| 5 Oman and UAE stations | 5 stations - poster (NB: obsolete since these statistics doesn't take into account the bias correction and McClear v3 available since Oct. 2017) | - | Marchand et al. 2017 |
| Irradiation validation report | This online service enables you to carry out the quality assessment of the daily Global Horizontal Irradiation data of three satellite-based resources versus the measurements of 31 stations of the WRDC network. The satellite-based resources are HelioClim-3 version 4, HelioClim-3 version 5 and MACC-RAD. Select the temporal of you choice in the temporal coverage available for each station, and then retrieve a full report in html format of quality assessment. The Irradiation Validation Report service has been upgraded during the release of Oct. 2017; it allows you to compare HelioClim-3 and CAMS Radiation data with ground measurements at 31 locations for hourly and daily time steps. |  | |
