Estimating surface solar irradiance from satellites: Past, present, and future perspectives (2019, background): “Since there have already been many parameterizations of the radiative extinctions due to different atmospheric constituents (Gueymard, 2003a, 2003b; Slingo, 1989; Stephens et al., 1984; Yang et al., 2001; Yang et al., 2006b), recent studies have mainly focused on how to combine them with various…”
An advanced stochastic weather generator for simulating 2‐D high‐resolution climate variables (2017, unknown): “The equations to compute the direct and diffusive transmittance terms for both bands are given in Gueymard [2003, 2004, 2008] and in TR-4.”
Global horizontal irradiance clear sky models : implementation and analysis. (2012, methodology): “This is the most recent model from Gueymard after his previous CPCR2 and REST models [30-34].”
Comparison of eight clear sky broadband models against 16 independent data banks (2006, background): “With a 0.2% variation in the modeled normal beam irradiance for a 10% variation of the water vapour column w (Gueymard, 2003), the precipitable water has no major influence on the atmospheric transmittance.”
