1 한국관개배수논문집제 20 권제 1 호 KCID J. Vol. 20 No. 1 ( ) pp. 90~101 Estimation of Solar Radiation using Daily Low and High Temperature 오시영 * 박진기 ** 박종화 *** Oh Siyoung Park Jinki Park Jonghwa Abstract Solar radiation is the primary energy source for many field, including water and heat balance, evaporation, photosynthesis, and crop growth. Unfortunately, solar radiation is measured at very few meteorological stations it is often estimated from the sunshine duration or cloudiness. In the absence of both these variables, solar radiation can be estimated by differences of air temperature. In this paper, a model to estimate daily solar radiation from air temperature measurements is presented. The result evaluated the accuracy of Bristow-Campbell (B&C) model for estimating daily mean solar radiation across South Korea. In the model, station parameters are derived from measured solar radiation, so neither historical climatic records nor calibration parameters are required for the calculations. The model was tested for 22 meteorological stations which taken from Korea Meteorological Association (KMA) by comparing estimated and measured solar radiation data. Measured and estimated air transmittance were separately used as model input parameters and model results were compared. The model using air temperature was the moderate model for either estimated solar radiation for the site where coefficients of the model were developed at the site or imported from other sites. Correlation coefficients (R 2 ) between estimated solar radiation and measured solar radiation and root mean squared error (RMSE) associated with the estimates were calculated. This comparison showed that when measured solar radiation is substituted. Also, it can extend the effectiveness of these applications to inland and coastal areas where solar radiation is not or is only rarely measured by meteorological networks. * 충북대학교대학원 (bolkillme@naver.com) 키워드 : solar radiation, meteorological data, ** 충북대학교대학원 (krfamily@nate.com) sunshine duration, air temperature, *** 충북대학교지역건설공학과교수 ( 교신저자 : jhpak7@cbnu.ac.kr) mean bias error(mbe), root mean square error(rmse)
