Towards Optimal Aerosol Information for the Retrieval of Solar Surface Radiation Using Heliosat

Towards Optimal Aerosol Information for the Retrieval of Solar Surface Radiation Using Heliosat

High quality data of surface radiation is a prerequisite for climate monitoring (Earth radiation budget) and solar energy applications. A very common method to derive solar surface irradiance is the Heliosat method, a one channel approach for the retrieval of the effective cloud albedo (CAL). This i...
