The Color of Light in Forests and Its Implications

TL;DR: The structure of forests leads to four major light habitats when the sun is not blocked by clouds: forest shade, woodland shade, small gaps, and large gaps, respectively, characterized by yellow—green, blue—gray, reddish, and "white" ambient light spectra, respectively.

A new simplified version of the perez diffuse irradiance model for tilted surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, a simplified version of the Perez[1] diffuse irradiance model is presented, which is one of those used currently to estimate short time step (hourly or less) irradiance on tilted planes based on global and direct (or diffuse) irradiances.
Journal ArticleDOI

Light and marine photosynthesis: a spectral model with geochemical and climatological implications

TL;DR: In this article, a spectral light-production model based on the local and instantaneous growth rate equation (Kiefer and Mitchell, 1983) is proposed to model the relationship between available photosynthetic energy at the ocean surface and energy stored by algal photosynthesis, once it has been normalized with respect to column integrated chlorophyll biomass.

Modelling topographic variation in solar radiation in a GIS environment

TL;DR: Clear sky shortwave solar radiation varies in response to altitude and elevation, surface gradient (slope) and orientation (aspect), as well as position relative to neighbouring surfaces.

Solar radiation prediction using Artificial Neural Network techniques: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the main objective of this study is to review Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based techniques in order to identify suitable methods available in the literature for solar radiation prediction and to identify research gaps.

Solar radiation model

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Angstrom-Prescott equation to predict the average daily global radiation with hours of sunshine for Hong Kong (22.3°N latitude, 114. 3°E longitude).

A practical analytic model for daylight

TL;DR: An inexpensive analytic model that approximates full spectrum daylight for various atmospheric conditions is presented that is fielded in a number of conditions and intermediate results verified against standard literature from atmospheric science.

MAX‐DOAS O4 measurements: A new technique to derive information on atmospheric aerosols: 2. Modeling studies

TL;DR: In this paper, a new retrieval algorithm for the determination of aerosol properties using Multi-AXis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) measurements based on nonlinear optimal estimation is presented.

Modeling the impact of climate change on rice production in Asia.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the impact of climate change on rice production in selected Asian countries: chapters on Japan, India, Malaysia, South Korea, China, Philippines, and Taiwan.

Passive directional sub-ambient daytime radiative cooling

TL;DR: A directional approach to passive radiative cooling that exploits the angular confinement of solar irradiation in the sky to achieve sub-ambient cooling during the day regardless of the emitter properties in the solar spectrum is shown.
