A global model for monthly mean hourly direct solar radiation

This paper introduces a worldwide applicable model for estimating hourly portions of monthly mean daily direct solar radiation intercepted on the horizontal surface, as a function of actual solar elevation, daily maximum solar elevation and latitude. The model fits well ( R>0.99) pyranometric dat...

Description
Summary:This paper introduces a worldwide applicable model for estimating hourly portions of monthly mean daily direct solar radiation intercepted on the horizontal surface, as a function of actual solar elevation, daily maximum solar elevation and latitude. The model fits well ( R>0.99) pyranometric data measured at stations from practically entire Northern Hemisphere (0< φ
