Estimation of global, direct and diffuse radiation from satellite images by statistical methods
Abstract
A ground radiation estimation approach excluding physical atmosphere models and introducing merely satellite image features gained by image processing procedures was developed. Radiation data is evaluated by a statistical model. Results for global, direct, and diffuse radiation from NOAA-6 and -7 images are presented.
