Abstract
Daylight downward longwave irradiance data recorded over a flat place for the period between April 2001 and December 2004 in Valladolid, Spain, have been compared with estimates generated using four different schemes. The parameterization schemes of Brutsaert, Swinbank, Idso, and Brunt have been considered and calibrated for the comparison. Root-mean-square errors (rmse), mean bias errors, and linear regression correlations have been used to compare measured and estimated values. The results of this comparison show that, for clear-sky conditions, rmse values range between 19.57 and 8.85 W m−2 for calibrated schemes and between 39.78 and 11.13 W m−2 for original ones. The Idso and Brunt schemes give the best results with calibrated coefficients, and the Brunt scheme performs the best with original coefficients. A new scheme for estimating daylight downward longwave irradiance under “all-sky” conditions has been developed based on clear-sky schemes and solar global shortwave irradiance, and, after comparing measured and estimated values by calibrated schemes, it has been found that the Idso and Brunt schemes give the best results.
