The received solar irradiance impacts the total amount of\ngenerated solar energy. However, this generation is often hindered by the high\ndegree of solar irradiance variability. In this paper, we study the main\nfactors behind such variability with the assistance of Global Positioning\nSystem (GPS) and ground-based, high-resolution sky cameras. This analysis will\nalso be helpful for understanding cloud phenomenon and other events in the\nearth's atmosphere.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1804.07629v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.07629v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"analyzing-solar-irradiance-variation-from-gps","repo_url":"https://github.com/Soumyabrata/irradiance-variation","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
