forecasts specifically designed for solar irradiance forecasting. The research will build adjoints of relevant WRF-Solar modules for solar irradiance such as parameterizations responsible for the shortwave radiative transfer, land surface model, microphysics,
boundary layer clouds and sub-grid scale clouds. The adjoints will be used to identify variables and parameters responsible for the largest sensitivities to the solar irradiance, and WRF-Solar will be developed to perturb these variables/parameters. This probabilistic
WRF-Solar framework will be used to run and calibrate ensembles over U.S and evaluate the model performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
