Hybrid Techniques to Predict Solar Radiation Using Support Vector Machine and Search Optimization Algorithms: A Review

TL;DR: A review of different hybrid SVM models with SOA applied to obtain the best parameters to reduce the prediction error of solar radiation using meteorological variables shows that SVM with GA presents a better performance than the classical S VM models using the Radial basis kernel function for prediction parameters.

The effect of broadband soft x-rays in so2-containing ices: implications on the photochemistry of ices toward young stellar objects

TL;DR: In this article, the effects produced mainly by broadband soft X-rays up to 2 keV (plus fast (keV) photoelectrons and low energy (eV) induced secondary electrons) in the ice mixtures containing H2O:CO2:NH3:SO2 (10:1:1):1) at two different temperatures (50 K and 90 K).

Simple Solar Spectral Model for Direct and Diffuse Irradiance on Horizontal and Tilted Planes at the Earth's Surface for Cloudless Atmospheres

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model for calculating direct normal and diffuse horizontal spectral solar irradiance for cloudless sky conditions was described. But the model was developed using rigorous radiative transfer codes and limited outdoor measurements.

- 01 Feb 1984 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a merging of the absolute integrals of the disk-center intensity for 20 A wide spectral bands and the ratios of mean to central intensity derived from recent observations of the center-to-limb variation of those bands (λ 6600 A).

Parameterized transmittance model for direct beam and circumsolar spectral irradiance

Christian A. Gueymard
- 01 Nov 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an upgraded spectral radiation model called SMARTS2 (Simple Model of the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer of Sunshine) is introduced, based on spectral transmittance functions for the main extinction processes in the cloudless atmosphere: Rayleigh scattering, aerosol extinction, and absorption by ozone, uniformly mixed gases, water vapor, and nitrogen dioxide.
