Improving the McClear model estimating the downwelling solar radiation at ground level in cloud-free conditions – McClear‑v3

The fast McClear clear-sky model estimates the downwelling shortwave direct and diffuse irradiances received at ground level under cloud-free conditions. Several improvements are presented. They focus on the modeling of changes in irradiances with the solar zenithal angle and on a better exploitatio...
