A New Clear-Sky Method for Assessing Photosynthetically Active Radiation at the Surface Level

A clear&#8211;sky method to estimate the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) at the surface level in cloudless atmospheres is presented and validated. It uses a fast and accurate approximation adopted in several radiative transfer models, known as the <i>k</i>-distribution meth...
