Mapping Global Solar Radiation from Long-Term Satellite Data in the Tropics Using an Improved Model

This paper presents an improved model and its application for mapping global solar radiation from satellite data in the tropics. The model provides a more complete description of the absorption and scattering of solar radiation in the earth-atmosphere system as compared to the earlier models. The st...
