Artificial neural network estimation of global solar radiation using air temperature and relative humidity
Shafiqur Rehman,Mohamed Mohandes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the estimation of global solar radiation (GSR) in future time domain using artificial neural network method was made using three combinations of data sets namely: (i) day of the year and daily maximum air temperature as inputs and GSR as output.

Empirical models for the correlation of global solar radiation with meteorological data for Northern Nigeria
TL;DR: Sunshine duration hours, minimum and maximum daily temperatures, relative humidity, mean daily temperatures and specific humidity, all as monthly averages for a 60-month time period (1980-1984) have been used to produce 12 different correlations with which the global solar radiation could be estimated for Kano (latitude of 12°02′N, longitude of 8°30′E and an altitude of 454 m) in northern Nigeria as mentioned in this paper.

Evaluation and development of empirical models for estimating daily and monthly mean daily diffuse horizontal solar radiation for different climatic regions of China
TL;DR: In this paper, the accuracy and suitability of 72 existing and developed empirical models in nine categories are evaluated for estimating diffuse horizontal solar radiation in different climatic regions of China, i.e., the arid desert of northwest China, the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), the (semi-)humid cold-temperate northeast China (NEC), the semi-humid north China (NC) and the humid (sub-)tropical central and south China (CSC).

The interrelationship and characteristic distribution of direct, diffuse and total solar radiation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present relationships permitting the determination on a horizontal surface of the instantaneous intensity of diffuse radiation on clear days, the long term average hourly and daily sums of diffuse radii, and the daily sum of diffuse radiata for various categories of days of differing degrees of cloudiness.
