Abstract
A modified solar radiation model, incorporating into several satellites remote sensing information such as NCEP/NCAR data, EOS-AURA satellite data, and Chinese FY-2C geo-stationary meteorological satellite data, is presented. The model is an attempt to modify Chen’s radiation model and examine its estimation accuracy at various places in six different climatic zones of China. The verification of model is also carried out by comparing between calculated radiation value using modified model and radiation product of FY-2C satellites. According to the NSE values, the adaptability of model is reasonably high in Mid-Temperate Zone (MTZ), Warm Temperate Zone (WTZ), Tibetan Plateau Zone (TPZ), and Cold Temperature Zone (CTZ) climate regimes and slightly low in Subtropical Zone (SZ) and Tropical Zone (TZ) climate regimes. The comparison between modeled radiation values and FY-2C radiation product values shows that the radiation product of FY-2C satellites is superior to the modified model in SZ and TZ climate regimes.
