Analysis and research on quality control method of global radiation observation data
Abstract
Radiation observation data are important basic data for assessment and research of climate change and solar energy resources. Quality control of radiation observation data is an important guarantee for accurate and reliable observation. First, the global radiation data collection method and the quality control process are introduced, and the differences and similarities between different quality control standards are compared in detail. Then, the quality control contents of the upper and lower limits and the rate of change are analysed theoretically and verified by experiments. Theoretical analysis and experimental results showed that the lower limit of the global radiation irradiance quality control should be −20 W/m^2, the upper limit should be 2221 W/m^2 or based on solar position, and the wrong change rate of sampling value should be 1000 W/m^2. Through the unification of the global radiation quality control standards, the difference caused by the inconsistent quality control methods can be avoided, thus improving the effectiveness of the radiation observation data and ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the radiation observation data.
