On the validity of using ground-based observations to validate geostationary-satellite-derived direct and diffuse surface solar irradiance: Quantifying the spatial mismatch and temporal averaging issues

2022 · Remote Sensing of Environment

This paper discusses the differences, due to different measuring mechanisms, of satellite-derived and ground measured surface solar irradiance (SSI) direct and diffuse components, and the impacts of the differences when validating satellite-derived data using ground …
