Access to daily high-resolution gridded surface weather data based on direct observations
and over long time periods is essential for many studies and applications including …

The knowledge of global solar radiation (H) is a prerequisite for the use of renewable solar
energy, but H measurements are always not available due to high costs and technical …

Solar radiation is a primary driver for many physical, chemical, and biological processes on
the earth's surface. Solar energy engineers, architects, agriculturists, hydrologists, etc. often …

In this paper, the accuracy of a hybrid machine learning technique for solar radiation
prediction based on some meteorological data is examined. For this aim, a novel method …

This paper evaluates the accuracy of Support Vector Machine (SVM), Artificial Neural
Network (ANN) and empirical solar radiation models with different combination of input …
