Modeling of Meteorological Parameters for Jordan

Jordan is a developing country with limited natural resources. It imports most of its energy for heating, electric power generation, and other uses. The limited energy sources consider renewable energy options such as solar, wind, and hydropower as alternatives. For successful energy research and...

Modeling of Meteorological Parameters for Jordan
description Jordan is a developing country with limited natural resources. It imports most of its energy for heating, electric power generation, and other uses. The limited energy sources consider renewable energy options such as solar, wind, and hydropower as alternatives. For successful energy research and applications, weather parameters (wind speed, sunshine duration, humidity_ temperature, and global solar radiation) should be modeled. For solar energy applications, information on global solar radiation are required for the country over a long period of time. Some sites have no records of solar radiation data. So, developing methods to predict solar radiation from any available weather data are necessary. Models based on Angstrom formula using data such as Sunshine, Temperature and Humidity of four stations are described. Wind is an important energy resource and man has long sought to harness it.
