SUMMARY:

Overirradiance, a phenomenon characterized by peaks of irradiance that exceed clear-sky levels, poses a scientific and operational challenge, especially in regions with high solar potential such as Rio Grande do Norte. Although the literature has already established the recurrence and magnitude of these events in the region, there is still a gap in understanding the specific atmospheric conditions that accompany them. The main objective of this work is to investigate the existence of a distinct "meteorological signature" associated with the occurrence of overirradiance events. To this end, high-resolution irradiance data and meteorological variables (temperature, humidity, pressure, and wind) from three cities in the state of Rio Grande do Norte were used. The methodology consists of, first, identifying and characterizing overirradiance events and, then, performing a comparative statistical analysis, using non-parametric tests, between periods with and without the phenomenon. This approach is expected to go beyond the simple quantification of events, using overirradiance as a diagnostic tool to provide evidence on the patterns and anomalies in meteorological variables that may be associated with the formation of these radiative extremes, contributing to a deeper understanding of local atmospheric physics.
