nsrdb.data_model.data_model
The data model handles NSRDB data sources, with the end goal of preparing data inputs to the NSRDB all-sky irradiance models.
A primary function of this model is to perform spatial and temporal interpolation of ancillary data. MERRA2 and Asymmetry data are both spatially and temporally interpolated to the NSRDB reference grid. Cloud properties originating from the GOES satellites and processed by the University of Wisconsin are mapped to the NSRDB grid via nearest neighbors (ReGrid).
