Production of Site/Time Specific Hourly Irradiances: Satellite Remote Sensing vs. Network Interpolation

    Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

    Abstract

    In this paper, we compare the accuracy of satellite-derived time/site specific hourly irradiances, with that of irradiances obtained via extrapolation and/or interpolation of nearby ground-meassuring stations. A comprehensive study undertaken by the International Energy Agency (Zelenka et al., 1992) had addressed this question, but had limited its scope to daily total irradiances. The presentstudy focuses on hourly data.
