Observed Patterns of Surface Solar Irradiance under Cloudy and Clear-sky Conditions
Wouter Mol, Bert Heusinkveld, Mary Rose Mangan +3
Surface solar irradiance varies on scales as small as seconds or meters due to scattering and absorption by the atmosphere. Clouds are the main driver of this variability, but mois…
