SolarRadiation {EPT}

Solar Radiation

Description

The solar radiations were hourly observed at Seoul, Daegu, and Busan in South Korea from September 1, 2003 to September 29, 2003. The data are available from Korea Meteorological Administration (https://data.kma.go.kr). Daegu and Busan, located in the southeast of the Korean Peninsula, are close to each other geographically, whereas Seoul is located in the middle of the Peninsula. In addition, note that Daegu and Busan were severely damaged by a typhoon named “MAEMI" at that time, while Seoul was hardly affected by the typhoon. It is expected that the climatic characteristics of Daegu and Busan are similar, and the pattern of Seoul seems to be different from the other two cities.

Usage
