Near Real-Time Geographic Representation of Solar Radiation Measurement Data for the Southern Great Plains Network

Brady, E., Gray-Hann, P., Anderberg, M.H.L., Wilcox, S.M., and Renne, D.S., National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Ninth Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Science Team Meeting

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will implement a web site showing the geographic representation of solar radiation for the Southern Great Plains, updated six times daily for the previous 24-hour period. The general approach involves using the Geographic Information System (GIS) and internet technologies to convert the Solar Infrared Radiation Station (SIRS) data into the spatial representation that will be presented on the web site. The images for previous hours and dates will be maintained and accessible. This site should prove useful for the quality assessment of broadband solar radiation measurement data. Additionally, this site can assist those modeling solar radiation climatologies by providing a means to examine spatio/temporal images of the data.
