bsrn.qc.closure.closure_high_sza_test(ghi, bni, dhi, zenith)

Check consistency between GHI, BNI, and DHI for high solar zenith angles ($Z > 75^circ$) [1].

Parameters:

• ghi (numeric or Series) – Global horizontal irradiance ($G_h$). [W/m^2]

• bni (numeric or Series) – Beam normal irradiance ($B_n$). [W/m^2]

• dhi (numeric or Series) – Diffuse horizontal irradiance ($D_h$). [W/m^2]

• zenith (numeric or Series) – Solar zenith angle ($Z$). [degrees]

Returns:

flags – Boolean flags (True = Pass). [bool]

Return type:

Series or ndarray
