Improved accuracy models for hourly diffuse solar radiation.

Journal Article
Muneer, T. & Munawwar, S. (2006)
Improved accuracy models for hourly diffuse solar radiation. Journal of Solar Energy Engineering. 128, 104-117. doi:10.1115/1.2148972. ISSN 0199-6231
Solar energy applications require readily available, site-oriented, and long-term solar data. However, the frequent unavailability of diffuse irradiation, in contrast to its n...
