Yearly changes in surface solar radiation in New Caledonia
New Caledonia experiences a decrease in surface solar irradiation since 2004. It is of order of 4% of the mean yearly irradiation over the 10 years period: 2004–2013, and amounts to −9 W m<sup>−2</sup>. The preeminent roles of the changes in cloud cover and to a lesser extent, those in a...

| description |
New Caledonia experiences a decrease in surface solar irradiation since
2004. It is of order of 4% of the mean yearly irradiation over the 10
years period: 2004–2013, and amounts to −9 W m<sup>−2</sup>. The preeminent
roles of the changes in cloud cover and to a lesser extent, those in aerosol
optical depth on the decrease in yearly irradiation are evidenced. The study
highlights the role of data sets offering a worldwide coverage in
understanding changes in solar radiation and planning large solar energy
plants such as the ICOADS (International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data
Set) of the NOAA and MACC (Monitoring Atmosphere Composition and Climate)
data sets combined with the McClear model. |
