Preface 

This user's manual describes typical meteorological year (TMY) data sets derived from the 1991-

2005 National Solar Radiation Data Base (NSRDB) update. These data sets provide greater 

geographical coverage than previous TMY sets with 1020 locations in the United States and its 

territories. 

To distinguish between the old and new data sets, the new TMY data sets are referred to as 

TMY3. The TMY, TMY2, and TMY3 data sets cannot be used interchangeably because of 

differences in time (solar versus local), formats, elements, and units. Unless they are revised, 

computer programs designed for previous TMY data will not work with TMY3 data. The 

National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) provides a software utility that allows 

reformatting of the TMY3 data to the TMY2 format. 

The TMY data sets hold hourly values of solar radiation and meteorological elements for a 1-

year period. Their intended use is for computer simulations of solar energy conversion systems 

and building systems to facilitate performance comparisons of different system types, 

configurations, and locations in the United States and its territories. Because they represent 

typical rather than extreme conditions, they are not suited for designing systems to meet the 

worst-case conditions occurring at a location. 

The TMY3 data sets and this manual were produced by NREL's Electric and Systems Center 

under the Solar Resource Characterization Project, which is funded and monitored by the U.S. 

Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office.

1 Description of the TMY3 Data Set 

This manual describes how to obtain and interpret the data in the Typical Meteorological Year, 

version 3 (TMY3) data sets. These data sets are an update to, and expansion of, the TMY2 data 

released by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in 1994. 

1.1 Introduction 

A typical meteorological year (TMY) data set provides designers and other users with a 

reasonably sized annual data set that holds hourly meteorological values that typify conditions at 

a specific location over a longer period of time, such as 30 years. TMY data sets are widely used 

by building designers and others for modeling renewable energy conversion systems. Although 

not designed to provide meteorological extremes, TMY data have natural diurnal and seasonal 

variations and represent a year of typical climatic conditions for a location. The TMY should not 

be used to predict weather for a particular period of time, nor is it an appropriate basis for 

evaluating real-time energy production or efficiencies for building design applications or solar 

conversion systems. 

Important note: Some of the meteorological data in this data set have been filled. The data-filling 

process was designed to provide serially complete records as input for modeling the solar 

radiation fields. Filled meteorological data fields (which are flagged in the data file) may also be 

useful for certain renewable energy applications. However, the filled data are not suitable for 

climatological studies. 

The TMY data set is composed of 12 typical meteorological months (January through 

December) that are concatenated essentially without modification to form a single year with a 

serially complete data record for primary measurements. These monthly data sets contain actual 

time-series meteorological measurements and modeled solar values, although some hourly 

records may contain filled or interpolated data for periods when original observations are 

missing from the data archive. 

1.2 Acquiring TMY3 Data 

The TMY3 data are available for download via the World Wide Web. Data may be accessed at 

http://rredc.nrel.gov/solar/old_data/nsrdb/1991-2005/tmy3. 

1.3 Source Data for the TMY3 Data Set 

The first TMY data set for the United States was produced by Sandia National Laboratories in 

1978 for 248 locations using long-term weather and solar data from the 1952–1975 

SOLMET/ERSATZ database (Hall et al. 1978). NREL updated the TMY data in 1994 using data 

from the 30-year 1961–1990 National Solar Radiation Data Base (NSRDB) (Marion, et al. 

1995). In 2007, NREL released a 15-year updated NSRDB for 1991–2005 (Wilcox et al. 2007a). 

The TMY3 data described here were produced using input data for 1976-2005 from the 1961-

1990 NSRDB, Version 1.1 and the 1991-2005 NSRDB update. 

Because the 1961-1990 NSRDB has 239 sites and the 1991-2005 NSRDB update has more than 

1,400 sites, production of the TMY3 data was designed to maximize both the number of stations 

1 
and the number of years from which to characterize the typical conditions. At sites where data 

are available for 30 years, the base time period for the TMY algorithm spans 1976-2005. For the 

remaining sites, the base time period spans 1991-2005. These two categories of sites are 

documented in Appendix A. 

In the creation of a TMY, selecting from a larger database generally affords smaller differences 

between selected data months and long-term monthly characteristics. Conversely, the smaller the 

pool of years from which to determine climate characteristics, the less likely the selection 

represents the climate (ASHRAE 2004). In the same context, the eruptions of El Chichón in 

1982 and Mt. Pinatubo in 1991 had significant effects on solar radiation for the United States and 

further reduced the pool of data for determining the typical climate. Volcanic eruptions, while 

often significantly diminishing solar energy at the earth’s surface, are rare, unpredictable, and 

variable in intensity. Designers may want to know the potential effects of volcanic eruptions to 

determine worst-case scenarios, but such perturbations do not contribute to long-term climate 

characterization. 

Except for a few changes to the weighting criteria, which account for the relative importance of 

the solar radiation and meteorological elements, the TMY2 and TMY3 data sets were created 

using procedures similar to those developed by Sandia National Laboratories (Hall et al. 1978) to 

create the original TMYs from the 1952-1975 SOLMET/ERSATZ data (see Section 2.1). Minor 

changes to the algorithm were made between the TMY2 and TMY3 production runs (see Section 

2.3). A small change to the persistence criteria better accommodates selecting a TMY month for 

periods or records with fewer years. Also, computer code was removed that prioritized the 

selection of months with measured solar data because no measured data were used in the 1991-

2005 NSRDB update. The effects of these changes between the TMY2 and TMY3 algorithm 

were evaluated as part of the TMY3 production process (see Section 2.8). In the context of 

producing data sets with similar characteristics, these effects were small (Wilcox, et al. 2008). 

The Sandia method is an empirical approach that selects individual months from different years 

occurring in the period of record. For example, in the case of the NSRDB that contains 30 years 

of data, all 30 Januarys are examined, and the one judged most typical by the TMY algorithm is 

selected to be included in the TMY. The other months of the year are treated in a like manner, 

and then the 12 selected typical months are concatenated to form a complete year. 

The 12 selected typical months for each station were chosen using statistics determined by 

considering five elements: global horizontal radiation, direct normal radiation, dry bulb 

temperature, dew point temperature, and wind speed. These elements are considered the most 

important for simulating solar energy conversion systems and building systems. 

Because the TMY algorithm assigns priority to the solar radiation elements, the selected months 

may or may not be typical for other elements. Cloud cover, which correlates well with solar 

radiation, is probably reasonably typical. Other elements are not related to the elements used for 

selection; consequently, their values may not be typical. Additionally, even though wind speed 

was used in the selection of the typical months, its relatively low weighting with respect to the 

other elements prevents it from being sufficiently typical for simulating wind energy conversion 

systems.

1.4 TMY3 Data Format 

The format for the TMY3 data is radically different from the TMY and TMY2 data.. The older 

TMY data sets used columnar or positional formats, presumably as a method of optimizing data 

storage space. Such formats are difficult to read, and it is difficult to import specific fields into 

many software packages. 

The comma separated value (CSV) format is ubiquitous, and many existing programs and 

applications provide built-in functions to read or parse it. For that reason, the TMY3 data set is 

distributed in the CSV format. For compatibility with existing software, NREL has produced an 

application to convert from TMY3 to TMY2 format. 

Despite the format differences, the fields in the TMY3 are very similar to those in the TMY2 

data set. Fundamental differences are measurement units, which are SI or equivalent in the 

TMY3, the addition of three new fields for surface albedo and liquid precipitation, and the 

removal of the fields for present weather, snow-depth, and days since last snowfall that were 

present in the TMY2. These fields were removed because of incompatible changes in the nature 

of the source data or because the source data were not available. The TMY3 data files are named 

according to the USAF site identifier as 999999TY.CSV, where 999999 represents the six digit 

USAF station identifier (see Appendix A). The TMY3 data format has two file header lines and 

8,760 lines of data, each with 68 data fields. The format is documented in Tables 1-1 to 1-3.

1.5 TMY3 Site Selection 

While planning the TMY3 update project, we considered two possible scenarios for populating 

the data set: 

• Create a TMY based on the 30 most recent years of data (1976–2005) for only the 239 sites 

common to both the old NSRDB and the NSRDB update 

• Create a TMY based on the 15 most recent years of data (1991–2005) for approximately 950 

sites from the NSRDB update. 

To optimize both temporal and spatial considerations, the TMY3 combines these scenarios so 

that the 30-year data were used at sites where they were available and the 15-year data were used 

for the remaining sites. The TMY3 sites are listed in Appendix A. The sites in the 1991-2005 

NSRDB were chosen based on data availability rather than geographic location (all sites meeting 

minimum data criteria were included). For this reason, in the both the NSRDB update and the 

TMY3, sites may occur in close proximity, for example in major metropolitan areas. 

The period of record of the source data set has an effect on the ability of the TMY algorithm to 

select a typical year (ASHRAE 2004). Because of differences in the source period of record for 

sites, this information has been documented in Appendix A. See Section 2.8 for a discussion of 

the effect of available data on the TMY statistics. Note that for the 30-year period, the pool is 

reduced to 24 years at best because of the removal of candidate years due to volcanic eruptions 

(see Section 2.4). For the 15-year period, the pool is reduced to 12 years at best for the same 

reason. Although some studies have shown than as few as five years may suffice for capturing 

much of the statistical character of a climate (Vignola 1993), we implemented a more 

conservative constraint on the size of the source data pool: No stations with less than a ten-year 

data pool were included in the TMY3 data set. 

The NSRDB update subdivided stations by class: Class I sites are those with the lowest 

uncertainty data, Class II sites have higher uncertainty data, and Class III sites have an 

incomplete period of record. When creating TMY data sets, we did not consider the class of the 

site or the uncertainty of the source data. Further, although Class III sites have gaps in the data, 

the TMY algorithm was able to produce a typical year for many Class III sites using months of 

data without gaps. To aid users in analyzing the quality of the data, we have included the 

station’s quality classification from the NSRDB update in Appendix A . The NSRDB 

classification subdivided stations according to the following algorithm: 

• If any data were missing from the key fields (solar, temperature, humidity, station 

pressure, wind speed, aerosols, and precipitable water), the station received a Class III 

designation. The algorithm distinguishes between Class I and Class II stations by 

examining the uncertainty for each hourly modeled value in the global field. If less than 

25% of the data for the 15-year period of record exceeds an uncertainty of 11%, the 

station received a Class I designation. Otherwise, it received a Class II designation. 

Although the 11% threshold between high and low uncertainty may seem arbitrary, based 

on the uncertainty calculations in the NSRDB update, this value easily discriminates 

between the data modeled with good human-observed or satellite-derived cloud cover 

and the filled or statistically derived cloud cover. 

9
Although the TMY data set likely does not have the same distribution of quality flags for a 

station as the entire period of record (it could be better or worse), the NSRDB classification 

scheme is valid for estimating the quality of a station’s TMY. This follows because the NSRDB 

classification is relevant to the quality of the long-term statistics used to choose the data that 

ultimately represent the site’s climate in the TMY. Although the Class III designation focused on 

data completeness rather than data quality, the data from most Class III stations were similar in 

quality to those of Class II stations and should be considered comparable when considering data 

quality in the TMY3 data set. 

The geographical coordinates listed in Appendix A may not exactly correspond with the 

coordinates of the meteorological station. This is because if a site in the NSRDB update held 

measured data from a nearby solar measurement site, the NSRDB site took on the coordinates of 

the solar measurement station. See the NSRDB Users’ Manual for additional information 

(Wilcox 2007b). (Measured solar data from the 1991-2005 NSRDB Update were not used in the 

TMY3 production in order to provide a more consistent data set.) 

10
2 Procedures for Developing TMY3 

The TMY2 andTMY3 data were created based on the procedures developed by Sandia National 

Laboratories (Hall et al. 1978) to create the original TMYs from the 1952-1975 

SOLMET/ERSATZ data. Modifications to the Sandia method were made to better optimize the 

weighting of the indices, to provide preferential selection for months with measured solar 

radiation data (in the TMY2 data set), and to account for missing data. This section begins by 

summarizing the Sandia method, and then it discusses departures from the Sandia method that 

were used to create the TMY3 data. 

2.1 Sandia Method 

The Sandia method is an empirical approach that selects individual months from different years 

of the period of record. For example, in the case of the NSRDB that contains 30 years of data, all 

30 Januarys are examined, and the one judged most typical is selected to be included in the 

TMY. The other months of the year are treated in a like manner, and then the 12 selected typical 

months are concatenated to form a complete year. Because adjacent months in the TMY may be 

selected from different years, discontinuities at the month interfaces are smoothed for 6 hours on 

each side. 

The Sandia method selects a typical month based on nine daily indices consisting of the 

maximum, minimum, and mean dry bulb and dew point temperatures; the maximum and mean 

wind velocity; and the total global horizontal solar radiation. Final selection of a month includes 

consideration of the monthly mean and median and the persistence of weather patterns. The 

process may be considered a series of steps. 

Step 1 - For each month of the calendar year, five candidate months with cumulative distribution 

functions (CDFs) for the daily indices that are closest to the long-term (30 years for the NSRDB) 

CDFs are selected. The CDF gives the proportion of values that are less than or equal to a 

specified value of an index. 

Candidate monthly CDFs are compared to the long-term CDFs by using the following 

Finkelstein- Schafer (FS) statistics (Finkelstein and Schafer 1971) for each index. 

 ∑=

i n

( 1 ) δ

where 

 δi = absolute difference between the long-term CDF and the candidate month CDF at xi 

 n = the number of daily readings in a month. 

Four CDFs for global horizontal solar radiation for the month of June are shown in Figure 2-1. 

Using the FS statistic and comparing to the long-term, the CDF for June of 1981 compared the 

best and the CDF for June of 1989 compared the worst. Even though it was not the best month 

with respect to the long-term CDF, June of 1962 was selected for the TMY2. This was a 

consequence of additional selection steps described in the following paragraphs. 

11
Figure 2-1. Cumulative distribution functions for June global horizontal solar radiation for 

Boulder, Colorado (example from TMY2 processing). 

Because some of the indices are judged more important than others, a weighted sum (WS) of the 

FS statistics is used to select the five candidate months that have the lowest weighted sums. 

 WS = ΣwiFSi

where 

 wi = weighting for index 

 FSi = FS statistic for index. 

Step 2 - The five candidate months are ranked with respect to closeness of the month to the longterm mean and median. 

Step 3 - The persistence of mean dry bulb temperature and daily global horizontal radiation are 

evaluated by determining the frequency and length of runs of consecutive days with values above 

and below fixed long-term percentiles. For mean daily dry bulb temperature, runs above the 67th 

percentile (consecutive warm days) and below the 33rd percentile (consecutive cool days) were 

determined. For global horizontal radiation, the runs below the 33rd percentile (consecutive low 

radiation days) were determined. 

The persistence criteria excludes the month with the longest run, the month with the most runs, 

and the month with zero runs. The persistence data are used to select from the five candidate 

months the month to be used in the TMY. The highest-ranked candidate month from Step 2 that 

meets the persistence criteria is used in the TMY. 

Step 4 - The 12 selected months were concatenated to make a complete year and discontinuities 

at the month interfaces were smoothed for 6 hours each side using curve fitting techniques. 

12
2.2 Weighting and Index Modifications for TMY2 and TMY3 

The weighting for each index plays a role in the selection of the typical months. Ideally, one 

would select a month that had FS statistics for each index that were better than all the other 

months. In practice, this is unlikely because the months might be typical with respect to some of 

the indices, but not others. By weighting the FS statistics, the relative importance and sensitivity 

of the indices may be taken into account. The Sandia weighting values and the weighting values 

used for the NSRDB TMY2 and TMY3 data sets are compared in Table 2-1. 

Table 2-1. Weighting values for FS statistics 

Index Sandia Method NSRDB TMY

Max Dry Bulb Temp 1/24 1/20

Min Dry Bulb Temp 1/24 1/20 

Mean Dry Bulb Temp 2/24 2/20 

Max Dew Point Temp 1/24 1/20 

Min Dew Point Temp 1/24 1/20 

Mean Dew Point Temp 2/24 2/20 

Max Wind Velocity 2/24 1/20 

Mean Wind Velocity 2/24 1/20 

Global Radiation 12/24 5/20 

Direct Radiation Not Used 5/20 

For the TMY2 and TMY3 data, an index for direct normal radiation was added. This improves 

the agreement between annual direct normal radiation for the TMY and the 30-year annual 

average by about a factor of 2 (based on 20 geographically representative NSRDB stations). 

When only global horizontal radiation is used for the solar index, the TMY annual direct 

radiation values for the 20 stations were within 4% (95% confidence level) of the 30-year annual 

average. Using both global horizontal and direct radiation indices reduced the differences to 2%, 

with no adverse effect on global horizontal radiation comparisons. 

We changed the weightings for dry bulb and dew point temperatures slightly to give more 

emphasis to dry bulb and dew point temperatures and less to wind velocity, which is of less 

importance for solar energy conversion systems and buildings. The TMY weightings are not 

appropriate for creating a typical wind data set for use with wind energy conversion systems, and 

these data sets are not intended for wind energy applications. 

The relative weights between solar and the other elements were not found to be particularly 

sensitive. As an indicator, annual heating and cooling degree days (base 18.3°C) were compared 

for the TMY2 data and the 30-year period for the 20 stations. With the selected solar weighting 

13
of 50% (global and direct), annual heating degree days for the TMY2 data were within 5% (95% 

confidence level) of the 30-year annual average. As an extreme, reducing the solar weighting to 

zero only reduced the differences to within 2.5%. Differences between the TMY2 annual 

averages and the 30-year averages for cooling degree days were within 9%, for both 0% and 

50% solar weightings. 

As a consequence of adding the index for direct normal radiation, the persistence check in Step 3 

was modified to determine the frequency and run length below the 33rd percentile (consecutive 

low radiation days) for daily values of direct normal radiation. This information, along with that 

for the other persistence indices, was then used to select the month satisfying the persistence 

criteria. 

2.3 Changes from TMY2 to TMY3 

A few changes from the TMY2 procedures were required to accommodate the use of 1991-2005 

NSRDB data in TMY3 data derived from only a 15-year period. For TMY2 data, months with 

measured solar radiation data were given preferential ranking for selection as a typical month. 

TMY3 procedures did not include this criterion because only modeled solar radiation data were 

included in the TMY3 data in order to provide more consistent solar radiation values. 

For the TMY3 data, using only 15 years instead of 30 years to select a candidate month required 

that the persistence checks be relaxed to ensure that a candidate month would be selected. For 

the TMY2 data, a candidate month is excluded from further consideration if it is the month with 

the most runs. For TMY3, a candidate month is only excluded if it has more runs than every 

other candidate month. Consequently, if two candidate months tie for the most runs, neither is 

eliminated by the TMY3 procedure, whereas the TMY2 procedure would eliminate both 

candidate months. As an additional step, if the TMY3 persistence procedure eliminated all 

candidate months, persistence was ignored for TMY3 and a month was selected from the 

candidate months that was closest to the long term mean and median. This ensured the selection 

of a typical month for TMY3 using 15-year or shorter data sets. No TMY for a site was produced 

if the pool of data was less than 10 years. 

2.4 El Chichón and Mount Pinatubo Years 

The volcanic eruptions of El Chichón in Mexico in March 1982 and Mount Pinatubo in the 

Philippines in June 1991 injected large amounts of aerosols into the stratosphere. The aerosols 

spread northward and circulated around the earth. This phenomenon noticeably decreased the 

amount of solar radiation reaching the United States during May 1982 until December 1984 due 

to El Chichón and from June 1991 to December 1994 due to Pinatubo, after which the effects of 

the aerosols diminished (Stoffel, 1993). Consequently, these months were not used in any of the 

TMY procedures because they were considered atypical. 

2.5 Leap Years 

TMY2 and TMY3 files do not include data for February 29. Consequently, data for February 29 

were not used in leap year Februarys to determine their candidate month CDFs. However, to 

maximize the use of available data, data for February 29 were included for determining the longterm CDFs. 

14
2.6 Month Interface Smoothing 

We used linear curve-fitting techniques to remove discontinuities created by concatenating 

months from different years to form the TMY2 and TMY3 data sets. These techniques were 

applied for 6 hours on each side of the month interfaces for dry bulb temperature, dew point 

temperature, wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric pressure, and precipitable water. Relative 

humidity for 6 hours on each side of the month interfaces was calculated using psychometric 

relationships (ASHRAE 1993) and curve-fitted values of dry bulb temperature and dew point 

temperature. 

2.7 Allowance for Missing Data 

The NSRDB has no missing solar radiation data for the sites used for TMY production, but 

meteorological data are missing for some stations and months for the 1961-1990 period. 

Consequently, when creating the TMY2 data, procedures were adopted to account for missing 

meteorological data. These procedures are documented in the TMY2 data manual (Marion, et al. 

1995). Similar data procedures were developed for filling the 1991-2005 NSRDB data. For the 

TMY3 data, these procedures (Wilcox, 2007b) were used to fill missing data for the 1976-1990 

period. Hence, in the TMY3 update, there was no need for additional data filling as part of the 

TMY3 algorithm. 

2.8 TMY3 Process Development and Quality Control 

To help guide our development and process validation for the TMY3, we re-created a 1961–1990 

TMY with the updated software using data from the TD3282 NSRDB data set distributed by the 

National Climatic Data Center. Missing meteorological fields were filled according to methods 

used for the 1991-2005 NSRDB update. In addition, to evaluate the effects of drawing from 

differing periods of time for the input data set, we compared each of the following year-span 

subgroups using the original 1961–1990 TMY data set as a benchmark (Wilcox, et al., 2008). 

• 1961–1990 (30 years for evaluating software algorithm changes) 

• 1976–2005 (for evaluating an updated TMY from a 30-year data set) 

• 1991–2005 (for evaluating an updated TMY from a 15-year data set) 

• 1998–2005 (for evaluating an updated TMY from an 8-year data set). 

The TMY software was run on each data set to create TMYs for the 233 sites common to all 

subgroups (several sites among the 239 in the TMY2 data set did not have sufficient data for this 

analysis) . We calculated a mean value for each parameter by site for each sub-group TMY. 

Although means are only a minor consideration in the TMY algorithm, they are one 

characteristic of climate and are a simple method of detecting large shifts or errors. The 

differences in means between the original 1961-1990 TMY and the subgroups for direct normal 

are shown in Figure 2-2. Separate plot curves are shown for each year-span subgroup.

The data in this plot show the least scatter when comparing the original and the re-created 1961–

1990 TMYs. For each of the remaining TMYs in order (1976–2005, 1991–2005, and 1998–

2005), increasing scatter is evident compared with the original 1961–1990 TMY. These results 

are consistent with findings that smaller source data sets are less likely to accurately typify the 

climate. Also conspicuous are data to the far left in each figure, which correspond to stations in 

Alaska, where several sites show anomalous values for the 1998-2005 subgroup. At the far right 

are stations in Hawaii, where other anomalies occur. Further study is required to understand 

these larger departures. 

Tables 2-1 and 2-2 hold summary data showing the means and standard deviations for these 

comparison data sets. The statistics are found by determining the mean of sunup data for the 

solar parameters and the mean of all data for meteorological parameters. Biases are determined 

as the test TMY data set minus the original 61-90 TMY. This information may give the user 

some indication of the increased uncertainty in the data with the smaller source data sets.

To further compare and validate the process, we looked at the frequency of each year’s selection 

for the year-span subgroups. Figure 2-3 shows the comparison between the year selection 

frequencies of the original 1961–1990 TMY and the re-created 1961–1990 TMY.

Although some differences are apparent, the overall mix of the year selection closely correlates, 

which we feel validates the current TMY production software. Note that years corresponding to 

the eruptions of volcanoes El Chichón and Mount Pinatubo (1982–1984 and 1992–1994, 

respectively) are not represented among the selected years. These years are explicitly excluded 

by the TMY algorithm because the effects of increased aerosols on solar radiation for those years 

are considered atypical. 

Figure 2-4 shows the year selection frequency for the 1976–2005 TMY. Note that the updated 

years 1991–2005 are under-represented in this data set (at about half the rate of 1976–1990). 

Given that both groups (1976–1990 and 1991–2005) have an equal 15-year span, further study is 

required to determine why the algorithm prefers data from the earlier years. 

Figures 2-5 shows the year selection frequency for the TMYs derived from the 1991–2005 data 

sets. Note that, although the years 1999–2005 are proportioned similarly between these two data 

sets, 1998 is the least frequent year selected from years 1998–2005 in the former and the most 

frequent in the latter.

2.9 Calculation of Illuminance Data 

To facilitate lighting and energy analysis of buildings, hourly values for global horizontal 

illuminance, direct normal illuminance, and diffuse horizontal illuminance in units of lux, and 

zenith luminance in units of cd/m2 were added to the TMY3 data. These elements were 

calculated using luminous efficacy models developed by Perez et al. (1990). Inputs to the models 

are direct normal radiation, diffuse horizontal radiation, solar zenith angle, and dew point 

temperature. 

2.10 Assignment of Source and Uncertainty Flags 

With the exception of extraterrestrial horizontal and extraterrestrial direct radiation, each data 

value was assigned a source and uncertainty flags. The source flag indicates whether the data 

were measured, modeled, or missing, and the uncertainty flag provides an estimate of the 

uncertainty of the data. Source and uncertainty flags for extraterrestrial horizontal and 

extraterrestrial direct radiation are not provided because these elements were calculated using 

equations considered to give values without significant error for this application. 

Usually, the source and uncertainty flags are the same as the ones in the NSRDB, from which the 

TMY files were derived. In the case of the TMY3 data files, the uncertainties are expressed as 

plus-minus percent rather than the coded uncertainty used in the TMY2 files. Uncertainty values 

apply to the data with respect to actual values at the time stamp, and not to how “typical” a 

particular hour is for a future month and day. The uncertainty values represent the plus or minus 

interval about the data value that contains the true value 95% of the time. 

19
The uncertainty assigned to modeled solar radiation data includes primarily the bias error in the 

model and, to a lesser extent, the random error component, which could be several times larger 

for partly cloudy skies (Wilcox, 2007b). For partly cloudy skies, an hour can be composed of 

large or small amounts of sunshine, depending on whether the sun is mostly free of the clouds or 

occluded by the clouds. Consequently, modeled hourly values may depart significantly from true 

values for partly cloudy skies. The uncertainty assigned to modeled solar radiation data 

represents the average uncertainty for a large number of model estimates (such as for a month). 

When averaging large data sets, random errors tend to cancel, leaving only the bias error. 

Uncertainties for values of illuminance and luminance were determined by taking the root-sumsquare of the two main sources of error: (1) uncertainty of the solar radiation element (global 

horizontal, direct normal, or diffuse horizontal radiation) from which the illuminance or 

luminance element is derived, and (2) uncertainty of the model estimate. The uncertainty of the 

model estimates are based on the evaluation presented by Perez et al. (1990) for six test stations. 

To be conservative, the following model mean bias errors for the stations with the largest errors 

were used: 

• 1.2% for global horizontal illuminance 

• 1.6% for direct normal illuminance 

• 2.3% for diffuse horizontal illuminance 

• 1.2% for zenith luminance. 

The uncertainty of the illuminance data value was then determined as the root-sum-square of the 

model uncertainty and solar radiation element uncertainty (for zenith luminance, the model value 

was root-sum-squared with the global radiation uncertainty). 

The use of the bias error, instead of bias and random error, is consistent with the approach in the 

above paragraph concerning the assignment of uncertainty values to modeled solar radiation 

elements. Consequently, it also has the same implications: The assigned uncertainty is 

representative of the average uncertainty for a large number of model estimates (such as for a 

month).. 

For meteorological elements, relative uncertainties from the NSRDB were used. These 

uncertainties do not portray a quantitative evaluation of the uncertainty of the meteorological 

elements, but rather give relative uncertainties based on the data and the manner in which they 

were derived (NSRDB-Vol. 1 1992). 

The source and uncertainty flags for the solar radiation, illuminance, and meteorological 

elements are presented in Tables 1-4 through 1-6.
