5.3. Surface radiation estimation based on satellite remote sensing and GCM
One of the most practical and reliable method for estimating the solar radiation is based on remote sensing because remote sensing observations are superior to station-based observations for acquiring the features of both regional and global coverages (Liang, 2004). Many algorithms have been developed to calculate the amount of solar radiation at surface; however, few global land surface radiation products exist due to the limited applicability of the current algorithms. This section discusses the advantages, disadvantages, and applicability of the existing algorithms for estimating surface radiation.
Since the 1960s, meteorological satellites have greatly expanded ...
