Satellite or ground-based measurements for production of site specific hourly irradiance data: Which is most accurate and where?

Site-specific satellite-derived hourly global horizontal irradiance is compared with that obtained from extrapolation and interpolation of values measured by ground-based weather stations. A national assessment of three satellite models and two ground-based techniques is described. A number of physi...
