Abstract
For efficient planning and integration of photovoltaic power plants into the power grids, better knowledge of the aerosol-cloud-radiation interaction and more accurate radiation forecasts are needed. However, most operational numerical weather prediction models rely on an aerosol climatology and ignore the spatio-temporal variability of the atmospheric aerosol. In special weather conditions like Saharan dust outbreaks or extended wildfires, this leads to significant deficiencies in the operational forecasts. At Deutscher Wetter­dienst (DWD) and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) the project "PermaStrom" aims to improve radiation forecasts. Using the ICON-ART modeling system the emission, transport, and deposition of mineral dust, black carbon from vegetation fires, and sea salt are explicitly simulated. To achieve the project goals and to examine in detail, the effect of Saharan dust on solar radiation, accurate and extensive measurements of the Saharan dust in the atmosphere and of the ground reaching solar radiation is needed. In our presentation, we will show results for several strong dust episodes in Germany. Dust clouds transported from the Saharan region to Germany are detected and tracked using ceilometer, spectroscopic and broadband radiation measurements from several sites within the measurement network of the DWD. We will focus on the direct and indirect aerosol effects and how these affect the solar irradiance at the ground. Furthermore, we will show how the implementation of prognostic mineral dust in the ICON-ART NWP model can improve the radiation forecasts during such events.
