Improving direct normal irradiance retrieval in cloud-free, but high aerosol load conditions by using aerosol optical depth

Measurements of the global surface solar irradiation and its direct and diffuse components performed at three Egyptian sites (Aswan, Cairo, and Port Said) are used to test the ability of two published decomposition models to estimate the hourly direct normal irradiance from the measured global horiz...
