Validation of the Surface Downwelling Solar Irradiance Estimates of the HelioClim-3 Database in Egypt

Validation of the Surface Downwelling Solar Irradiance Estimates of the HelioClim-3 Database in Egypt

HelioClim-3 (HC3) is a database providing time series of the surface downwelling solar irradiance that are computed from images of the Meteosat satellites. This paper presents the validation results of the hourly global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and direct normal irradiance (DNI), i.e., beam irrad...
