History and trends in solar irradiance and PV power forecasting: A preliminary assessment and review using text mining (2018, methodology): “(2009)’s approach has gained acceptance in solar resource assessment applications (Gueymard, 2014). As shown in Table 2, KSI essentially evaluates the area between two empirical CDFs. The reader is referred to Huang and Thatcher (2017) and Perez et al.”
An advanced stochastic weather generator for simulating 2‐D high‐resolution climate variables (2017, neutral): “The extraterrestrial radiation is partitioned in the fractions of 0.4651 in the UV/VIS band, and 0.5195 in the NIR band [ Gueymard , 2008] and it can be obtained starting with the value of the solar constant 1360 : 8 W m 2 2 , as suggested by Kopp and Lean [2011].”
