Abstract
Gangneung-Wonju National University (GWNU) one-layer solar radiation model is developed in order to resolve the lack of the vertical structure of atmospheric components and fast calculation with high horizontal spatial resolution. GWNU model is based on IQBAL and NREL methods and corrected by precise multi-layer Line-By-Line (LBL) model. Further, the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface by using 42 types of vertical atmospheric data as input data was compared with detailed models and one-layer models. One-layer solar radiation models were corrected depending on sensitivity of each input data (i.e., total precipitable water, ozone, mixed gas, and solar zenith angle). Global solar radiation was calculated by corrected GWNU solar model with satellites (MODIS, OMI and MTSAT-2), KLAPS model prediction data in Korea peninsula in 2010, and the results were compared to surface solar radiation observed by 22 KMA solar radiation sites. Calculated solar radiation annually accumulated showed highest solar radiation distribution in Andong, Daegu, and Jinju regions, meanwhile the observation data showed lower solar radiation in Daegu region compared to model result values.
