Solar radiation is a primary driver for many physical, chemical, and biological processes on
the earth's surface. Solar energy engineers, architects, agriculturists, hydrologists, etc. often …

For the optimal design and selection of solar energy conversion systems, as well as for other
fields of interest, such as architecture, agriculture, hydrology and ecology, the knowledge of …

Global solar radiation is a core component of scientific research and engineering application
across a broad spectrum. However, its measurement is limited by a small number of stations …

Solar radiation models for predicting the average daily and hourly global radiation, beam
radiation and diffuse radiation on horizontal surface are reviewed in this article. Estimations …

In the design and study of solar energy, information on solar radiation and its components at
a given location is very essential. Solar radiation data are required by solar engineers …

This paper presents a comparison between empirical models in the literature and the
development of new models for estimating global solar radiation on the horizontal surface in …

The number of developed Global Solar Radiation models is relatively high, making it
challenging to choose the most appropriate solar conversion system model. However, there …

In this paper, 89 existing monthly average daily global solar radiation models and 19
existing daily global solar radiation models are compared and analyzed by 42 years …

Spatial patterns of land surface temperature (LST), surface urban heat island (SUHI), surface
urban cold island (SUCI), and their seasonal variations during January (winter) and …

Many empirical correlations and models have been developed to estimate solar radiation
around the world. The most commonly used parameter for estimating global solar radiation …
