摘要: Information from the National Climatic Data Center's Solar and Meteorological Surface Observation Network CD-ROM data set is used to study spatial coherence of incoming solar radiation for selected regions in United States 30-year period 1961–1990. Networks nine sites are analyzed each five regions: North Central, Ohio Valley, New England, East Texas, Southern Piedmont. The examined by calculating standard deviation daily differences receipt paired stations subsequently determining a coefficient variability. These plotted as function distance between station pairings establish absolute relative spatial-variation relationships. Comparisons made among with Piedmont showing most England generally having greatest variation (i.e., greater variability values distanc...
