Development of a solar irradiance dataset for Oahu, Hawai'i

The irradiance dataset produced has RMSE values of 15-30% depending on location, with correction for viewing angle discrepancies found to improve the performance. Variability on sub hourly, diurnal, monthly and yearly time scales are found within the dataset, as well as events such as an El Nino year, a La Nina year and Kona lows, together with a spatial distribution consistent with previous research.
