This model predicts solar irradiance in cloudless conditions, validating its accuracy against existing models and observations.
An analytic model is presented for the broadband diffuse irradiance received at the earth’s surface through a cloudless homogeneous atmosphere containing light-absorbing and isotropic-scattering agents. The model is extended to include a contribution from light re-scattered after ground reflection. The model is validated, with some qualification, against a Monte Carlo model based on the same physics, two empirical models and ground-based observations at Adelaide and Alice Springs.
