On April 15 and 19, 1998, two intense dust storms were generated over the Gobi desert by springtime low‐pressure systems descending from northwest. The windblown was detected its evolution followed yellow color on SeaWiFS satellite images, routine surface‐based monitoring, through serendipitous observations. cloud recirculating, it removed a precipitating weather system east Asia. 19 crossed Pacific Ocean in 5 days, subsided to surface along mountain ranges between British Columbia...
A new publicly available data set was completed for use in validating models that estimate the performance of flat-plate photovoltaic (PV) modules. The were collected one-year periods at three climatically diverse locations (Cocoa, Florida; Eugene, Oregon; and Golden, Colorado) PV modules representing all technologies 2010 when work began. same makes tested common acquisition systems used with calibrations performed National Renewable Energy Laboratory. For determining model parameters...
Annual average total irradiance increases by 1–2% per decade at three monitoring stations in Oregon over the period from 1980 to 2007. Direct normal measurements increase 5% same time period. The show no sign of a dimming before 1990. impact high concentrations stratospheric aerosols following volcanic eruptions El Chichón and Mount Pinatubo are clearly seen measurements. Removing these years annual all‐sky series reduces trends both direct irradiance. Clear‐sky periods this long used...
In order to facilitate comprehensive economic modeling of CSP/STE power plants realistic long-term meteorological datasets with temporal resolution down 1 minute is a main premise. Currently available standard do not fulfil this The also need combine the high quality well-maintained ground-based irradiance measurements and global coverage satellite-derived data. Even best data it necessary account for uncertainty in sampling from finite time-series enable optimal statistical...
