The Role of the Effective Cloud Albedo for Climate Monitoring and Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2011
Cloud properties and the Earth’s radiation budget are defined as essential climate variables by Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). The cloud albedo is a measure for the portion of solar radiation reflected back to space by clouds.

Measurement and Modeling of 3D Solar Irradiance for Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaic

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
The energy yield of vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) differs from that of standard photovoltaics (PV). It is mainly by the difference of the solar irradiance onto the car roof and car bodies as well as its curved shape.
