OUTLINE 1 Background and Objectives 2 Materials and Methods 3 Results and Discussions 4 ummary 2
Background and Objectives olar radiation at the Earth s surface (surface solar radiation, R) is the ultimate energy source for life on the planet. It must rely on reanalysis to get more continuous spatial and temporal radiation data. Reanalysis have positive biases with observations, to radiation data, the main causes of biases may be light cloud and aerosol. Reanalysis bias errors will affect the application. MERRA is one of reanalysis from NAA. Objective of this is to evaluation MERRA s global solar radiation and diffuse solar radiation against the observations in hanghai, and reduce the errors. 3
Materials and Methods Historical data: global solar radiation and diffuse solar radiation hanghai(121.29 E 31.24 N) 2.1-212.9 1 4 J/m 2 d MERRA: global solar radiation and diffuse solar radiation 1 4 J/m 2 d MODI data: The MODerate resolution Imaging pectrometer (MODI) instrument is one of the first passive satellite radiometers designed to retrieve aerosols over the land and ocean. The instrument oboard the Terra (EO- AM) in 1999,and aboard Aqua (EO-PM) satellites in 22. The daily level-2 data (Collection 5) at 55 nm from the Terra and Aqua MODI aerosol products (MOD4_L2, MYD4_L2) are applied in this study. Aerosol optical depth () is a measure of the opaqueness of air, and high values of indicate poor visibility. 4
