Solar global and direct radiation are measured by radiation sensors (Model TBQ-4-1, TBS-2, China), and temperature and humidity are measured by a HOBO weather station (Model H21, onset company, USA). This dataset is solar radiation and meteorological variables, including solar globla and direct radiation in the wavelength range of 270-3200nm, unit: w/m2. The units of temperature, humidity and water vapor pressure are ℃, %, hPa, respectively. The dataset of solar radiation and meteorological elements come from the measurements of data providers. Data coverage time is 2013-2016. The data set can be used to study the solar radiation and its change mechanism in a subtropical region, China.

File naming and required software

Data file name: QYZ SRTH 2013142.txt, QYZ is the station name, SRTH denotes solar radiation, temperature and humidity. The data is the hourly averages for all variables, including the solar global radiation (Q), direct radiation (D), temperature (T), humidity (H) and water vapor pressure at the ground (E).
