Tóm tắt

Monthly-averaged daily global irradiation data are now easily available from NASA website for any global location. Using established models it is then possible to decompose the daily to averaged-hourly global irradiation. The missing link so far has been hourly averaged diffuse irradiation. In this article data was pooled from 14 world-wide locations to obtain a regression model to complete the above missing link. It was presently shown that the averaged–data regressions are distinctly different from previously available hour-by-hour regressions.
