Re: [weewx-user] Re: Solar Radiation > Theoretical Max

So the weewx python code says it is using the Ryan and Stolzenbach model, which has a few approximations that don't work well in some cases, and it looks like this is one of them. I've attached a plot comparing 3 insolation models predicting global horizontal irradiation. Bird and Hulstrom 1991

I should have looked a bit more closely before posting! I used the solrad excel code from Uni Washington. I had adjusted my B&H parameters to represent quite clean air but forgot to match the Bras and RS code from default. If I: 1. reset the BH turbidity params to default, 2. adjust the B

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Solar Radiation > Theoretical Max

Very useful, Cameron. It looks like the R-S curve is quite a bit lower, maybe as much as 20% lower, at dawn and dusk, which seems to be when people are experiencing values higher than maxSolarRad. On Wed, Dec 23, 2020 at 1:19 AM Cameron D wrote: > And then I forgot the attachment! > > > On Wedn

That is part of it, but some of the early morning examples are up to 500% different, although with very small values. In those cases I still suspect there is extra scattered radiation from the surroundings, whether it be trees or buildings. I wonder also if the sensor type may change results sl

One of the things that we see FAQs about for many extensions, in particular the combination of weewx-mqtt and Belchertown, is related to what to edit+add in weewx.conf to salt to taste, so to speak. I was thinking it might be helpful to be able to insert relatively large commented-out blocks of
