Abstract

The attenuation of solar radiation by the atmosphere is caused by two simultaneous processes: (a) scattering by air molecules and by the atmospheric turbidity; and (b) absorption by O3, H2O and CO2. Since the atmospheric turbidity is closely related to horizontal visibility, V (meteorological optical range), the terrestrial direct normal solar radiation can be expressed as: Ibn=Ionexp(−NsKs−KtV−NoKo−NcKc−NwKw)mƒ
