Clear-sky models, solar irradiance, PARResumo
The broadband irradiances (GHI, DHI, DNI) and the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) estimated by the REST2 clear sky model are evaluated against 1-minute high quality ground measurements for one site representative of the Pampa Húmeda region of southeastern South America. The MERRA-2 reanalysis database is used to provide the required atmospheric inputs for the model (water vapor, aerosol content, ozone). Our results show an acceptable performance for GHI, DNI and PAR but a high uncertainty in the estimated DHI.
