Savoy","Yee Hui Lee","Stefan Winkler"],"abstract":"Ground-based whole sky imagers (WSIs) can provide localized images of the sky\nof high temporal and spatial resolution, which permits fine-grained cloud\nobservation. In this paper, we show how images taken by WSIs can be used to\nestimate solar radiation. Sky cameras are useful here because they provide\nadditional information about cloud movement and coverage, which are otherwise\nnot available from weather station data. Our setup includes ground-based\nweather stations at the same location as the imagers. We use their measurements\nto validate our methods.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.02546v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.02546v2.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":"estimation-of-solar-irradiance-using-ground","repo_url":"https://github.com/Soumyabrata/solar-irradiance-estimation","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}
