In this paper, we focus our attention on the impact of cloud on the\ntotal solar irradiance reaching the earth's surface. We use weather station to\nrecord the total solar irradiance. Moreover, we employ collocated ground-based\nsky camera to automatically compute the instantaneous cloud coverage. We\nanalyze the relationship between measured solar irradiance and computed cloud\ncoverage value, and conclude that higher cloud coverage greatly impacts the\ntotal solar irradiance. Such studies will immensely help in solar energy\ngeneration and forecasting.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1703.05591v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.05591v1.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":"cloud-radiative-effect-study-using-sky-camera","repo_url":"https://github.com/Soumyabrata/cloud-radiative-effect","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
