Subject: Solar Radiation
Dear DSSAT Members,
I have access to daily solar radiation data but there are five
different types of radiation listed. I was wondering if anyone knows
which type is appropriate for DSSAT. The options are listed below
with a description. Any information would be great.
1.) Extraterrestrial Horizontal Radiation -- Amount of solar radiation
in Wh/m2 received on a horizontal surface at the top of the atmosphere
2.) Extraterrestrial Direct Normal Radiation -- Amount of solar
radiation in Wh/m2 received on a surface normal to the sun at the top
of the atmosphere
3.) Global Horizontal Radiation -- Total amount of direct and diffuse
solar radiation in Wh/m2 received on a horizontal surface
4.) Direct Normal Radiation -- Amount of solar radiation in Wh/m2
received within a 5.7 degree field of view centered on the sun
5.) Diffuse Horizontal Radiation -- Amount of solar radiation in Wh/m2
received from the sky (excluding the solar disk) on a horizontal
surface
Thanks,
--
