Estimating the photosynthetically active radiation under clear skies by means of a new approach

The <i>k</i>-distribution method and the correlated-<i>k</i> approximation of Kato et al. (1999) is a computationally efficient approach originally designed for calculations of the broadband solar radiation by dividing the solar spectrum in 32 specific spectral bands from 240...
