Datasets for modeling Brazilian solar energy potential using different cloud cover sources (1983-2009)

Article Data and Scripts author: Emerson D. Oliveiradate: 2025/04/07 File DescriptionAll data used to generate the results in the article "Assessment of employing different cloud cover data sources to model the Brazilian solar energy potentiality" are organized in the following folders: annual_datasets: Contains annual averages of Brazilian photovoltaic potential (e.g., data for Figure 9 in annual_datasets/FIGURES/Fig9). seasonal_datasets: Seasonal data (by meteorological season). Processing and visualization scripts are available in the FIGURES subdirectories. Computational Methods Pre-processingInterpolation and ensemble techniques were performed using Climate Data Operator (CDO), automated via shell scripts (.sh). Visualization- Plots generated primarily in R (using packages like ggplot2, raster). - Exception: Figure 2 was created with GrADS.
