A Cloud‐Free Approach to Modeling Daily Downwelling Longwave Irradiance at Global Scale
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Parametric modeling of downwelling longwave irradiance under all‐sky conditions (LW↓) typically involves “correcting” a clear‐ (or non‐overcast) sky model estimate using solar‐irradiance‐based proxies of cloud cover in lieu of actual cloud cover given ...

Impact of aerosols and clouds on decadal trends in all-sky solar radiation over the Netherlands (1966–2015) [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 A 50-year hourly data set of global shortwave radiation, cloudiness and visibility over the Netherlands was used to quantify the contribution of aerosols and clouds to the trend in yearly-averaged all-sky radiation (1.81 ± 1.07 W m−2 decade−1). Yearly-

Vapor buoyancy increases clear-sky thermal emission
Environmental Research: Climate, 2023 The molar mass of H _2 O (18 g mol ^−1 ) is smaller than that of dry air (29 g mol ^−1 ), which makes humid air lighter than dry air with the same temperature and pressure.

Uncertainties of parameterized surface downward clear-sky shortwave and all-sky longwave radiation. [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012 As many environmental models rely on simulating the energy balance at the Earth's surface based on parameterized radiative fluxes, knowledge of the inherent model uncertainties is important.
