Retrieving Cloud Characteristics from Ground-Based Daytime Color All-Sky Images in:
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology Volume 23 Issue 5 (2006) Jump to …

Cloud detection is the precondition for deriving other information (eg, cloud cover) in ground-
based sky imager applications. This paper puts forward an effective cloud detection …

To address the problem of forecasting solar irradiance for grid operators, the aim of this work
is to automatically predict solar irradiance several minutes in advance. This work presents a …

An assessment of aerosol‐cloud interactions (ACI) from ground‐based remote sensing
under coastal stratiform clouds is presented. The assessment utilizes a long‐term, high …

We outline a methodology for estimating fractional sky cover for an effective 160° field of
view from an analysis of surface measurements of downwelling total and diffuse shortwave …

Short-term solar forecasting models based solely on global horizontal irradiance (GHI)
measurements are often unable to discriminate the forecasting of the factors affecting GHI …

Observations made during the TWP‐ICE campaign are used to drive and evaluate thirteen
cloud‐resolving model simulations with periodic lateral boundary conditions. The …

A six-year global study of cloud distribution and cloud properties obtained from observations
of the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO), the …

Abstract Knowledge regarding the solar radiation reaching the earth's surface and its
geographical distribution is very important for the use of solar energy as a resource to …

Clouds significantly attenuate ground-level solar irradiance causing substantial reduction in
photovoltaic power output capacity. However, partly cloudy skies may lead to temporary …
