Short Summary

This paper presents a dataset comprising hourly ground-based global horizontal irradiance (GHI) measurements collected during 2019 from 164 radiometric stations jointly operated by CMA and CERN.

Objective

• To provide a comprehensive, quality-controlled dataset of hourly ground-based global horizontal irradiance (GHI) measurements for the year 2019.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: 164 radiometric stations across a network (implied to be within China).
• Temporal Scale: Hourly measurements for the entire year 2019.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Not applicable (dataset description).
• Data sources: Ground-based global horizontal irradiance (GHI) measurements collected from regularly calibrated thermopile pyranometers installed at 164 radiometric stations.

Main Results

• The primary result is a publicly available dataset containing hourly ground-based global horizontal irradiance (GHI) measurements from 164 radiometric stations for the entire year 2019.

Contributions

• This work contributes a valuable, high-resolution, and quality-controlled dataset of ground-based GHI measurements, which is essential for solar energy applications, atmospheric studies, and climate research.
