Efficient calculation of solar position using rectangular coordinates
Accuracy Analysis of Sun Position Calculation Algorithms: Ineichen and SPA
TLDR
A statistical analysis of the accuracy of two sun position algorithms: the algorithm proposed by Ineichen, which is used for PVSyst® software, and the Solar Position Algorithm, taking into consideration both the standard deviation and the maximum errors, as well as quartiles and quantiles.
A database of multi-year (2004–2010) quality-assured surface solar hourly irradiation measurements for the Egyptian territory
Abstract. A database containing the global and diffuse components of the surface solar hourly irradiation measured from 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2010 at eight stations of the Egyptian…
Do modelled or satellite-based estimates of surface solar irradiance accurately describe its temporal variability?
Abstract. This study investigates the characteristic time-scales of variability found in long-term time-series of daily means of estimates of surface solar irradiance (SSI). The study is performed at…

Comparison of several satellite-derived databases of surface solar radiation against ground measurement in Morocco
Abstract. HelioClim-3v4 (HC3v4), HelioClim-3v5 (HC3v5) and the radiation service version 2 of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS-Rad) are databases that contain hourly values of solar…
Validation of the McClear clear-sky model in desert conditions with three stations in Israel
Abstract. The new McClear clear-sky model, a fast model based on a radiative transfer solver, exploits the atmospheric properties provided by the EU-funded Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service…
On the effective solar zenith and azimuth angles to use with measurements of hourly irradiation
Abstract. Several common practices are tested for assessing the effective solar zenith angle that can be associated to each measurement in time-series of in situ or satellite-derived measurements of…
An Introduction to the Geostationary-NASA Earth Exchange (GeoNEX) Products: 1. Top-of-Atmosphere Reflectance and Brightness Temperature
TLDR
Algorithms to detect and remove residual georegistration uncertainties automatically in both GOES and Himawari L1bdata, adjust the data for topographic relief, estimate the pixelwise data-acquisition time, and accurately calculate the solar illumination angles for each pixel in the domain are implemented.
Verifying the spatial consistency of the CAMS Radiation Service and HelioClim-3 satellite-derived databases of solar radiation using a dense network of measuring stations: the case of The Netherlands
Abstract. The present work deals with two well-known databases of hourly mean of solar irradiance that are derived from satellite imagery: the CAMS Radiation Service version 3.2, abbreviated as…
