Solar irradiance and temperature variability and projected trends analysis in Burundi
This paper assessed the variability and projected trends of solar irradiance and temperature in the East of Burundi.
Observed temperature from meteorological stations and the MERRA-2 data set provided by NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center are used over the historical period 1976–2005. In addition, solar irradiance data provided by SoDa database were considered. Furthermore, projection data from eight Regional Climate Models were used over the periods 2026–2045 and 2066–2085.
