The quality and amount of data available from meteorological satellites has opened up multiple opportunities to improve the development of new solar radiation model methodologies. These new methodologies have created advances in weather data engineering applications for the modeling and design of energy efficient buildings. In this second part, we will learn about the analysis methods and availability of solar data derived from reanalysis models (NARR) and we will close with a look at NASA’s work on providing meteorological satellite data for renewable energy systems.
