摘要: Accurate measurement and determination of the atmospheric turbidity is of great importance for solar radiation modeling and climate change studies. Daily values of global, direct and diffuse solar irradiation and meteorological variables (air temperature, relative humidity, sunshine duration and wind speed) during 1960-2013 are used to investigate the monthly variations of Angstrom turbidity coefficient (beta) at Zhengzhou, China. An improved method (IYHM-ZZ) is proposed by combining the format of the Yang hybrid model (YHM) with corrected spectral terms. The beta value is obtained by adjusting the estimated direct radiation until it matches the measured values. Statistical indicators (RMSE, MBE and t-test) are used to evaluate the performance of YHM and IYHM-ZZ models, and the IYHM-ZZ model produces more accurate estimates than the YHM model. The results indicate that the beta values are generally higher in winter and spring, lower in summer and autumn. An increasing trend of beta is observed during 1960-2010 at Zhengzhou, and the annual mean beta are 0.07, 0.09, 0.11, 0.12, 0.12 and 0.13 for 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010-, respectively.
