The extraterrestrial solar irradiance is the solar radiation received at the top of Earth’s atmosphere. The extraterrestrial solar irradiance varies slightly due to variations in energy emitted by the Sun and the variable distance of the Earth from the Sun in the course of the year.

2013年12月16日 · On cloudless days, irradiance varies smoothly with time-of-day. This is illustrated in Figure 2.5 for 3 days at different times of the year at a site of latitude 42.9°S in south-east Tasmania, Australia. Peak irradiance in summer is higher than in winter because sun angles are higher and the reduction in irradiance due to the cosine law is less.

2021年11月1日 · Solar irradiance forecasting can be traced all the way back to the late 19th century when numerical weather prediction models (NWP) were first developed (Yang et al., 2018). Since then, numerous methods have been developed to improve forecast horizons spanning from very short-term forecasts to multiple days ahead (Lorenz et al., 2009).

2025年2月1日 · Several established algorithms exist for quantifying solar irradiance stability. One type of commonly used algorithm involves the clear-sky index and clearness index, derived from the ratio of ground-level solar irradiance to the estimated value under clear sky conditions and the ratio of ground-level solar irradiance to extraterrestrial levels, respectively [10], [11], [12], [13].

The extraterrestrial solar irradiance is the solar radiation received at the top of Earth’s atmosphere. The extraterrestrial solar irradiance varies slightly due to variations in energy emitted by the Sun and the variable distance of the Earth from the Sun in the course of the year.

Irradiance significantly impacts the performance of PV modules. Studies have shown that the degradation rates of polycrystalline PV panels can significantly increase under different irradiance levels, with average degradation rates of 1. 02 % / year at 800 W/m 2 and 0. 99 % / year at 600 W/m 2, exceeding manufacturer-proposed values (Shaik et al., 2021).

2016年9月1日 · Feister and Shields [13] studied cloud data, provided by the Whole Sky Imager and compared them with cloud observations at the two sites of Potsdam and Lindenberg, Germany, and in relation to solar irradiance measurements. Enhancement effects, on the diffuse irradiance, were observed in cases with clouds close to the apparent Sun position.

Variation of some important key parameters used in our study for the analysis of solar and climate variability, starting from the bottom the figure consist of the variations in total solar irradiance (First panel), global average surface temperature anomaly (Second panel), …

2023年11月1日 · Increasing complexity in irradiance fluctuation patterns (i.e. from very artificial to measured time series) reduced the difference between dynamic and steady-state simulations, e.g. for photosynthesis this difference decreased from 50% to 5%; for water-use efficiency the difference decreased from 70% to 5%.

Existing tilted irradiance models use different assumptions on the radiance distribution, sometimes depending on the cloud situation. The ground reflected irradiance component depends on the slope of the module and the ground reflectivity. Again, assumptions of the distribution of radiances have to be made.
