Short summary
We tested two satellite-based irradiance datasets against both high- and low-accuracy ground-based measurements. The dataset is unique: it includes irradiance measurements from a new research-grade monitoring station in a rare climate, along with new satellite data from China's Fengyun-4B geostationary satellite. Findings suggest that using low-accuracy measurements as a reference for validation can be risky.
