Influence of cloudiness on the incident shortwave radiation of Nevado Coropuna

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to analyze the influence of cloud cover on shortwave radiation incident of the Nevado Coropuna during 2015-2016. In this presentation they propose to discuss that Arequipa, during the day, has more clouds between December to March above 80%. At night the cloudiness diminish significantly, hourly there are more clouds in the afternoon. The NC has a similar pattern, and there is a difference among the oriental and occidental side. Also, propose the cloudiness radiation has a high impact in the incident shortwave, in clear moments the radiation could reach 1200 W/m2, meanwhile with cloudiness this does not pass the 600 W/m2. In the dry period, generally there are not clouds; in the conventional meteorological stations are found predominantly high clouds, cirrus.
