Characterizing Variability of Solar Irradiance in San Antonio, Texas Using Satellite Observations of Cloudiness

Since the main attenuation of solar irradiance reaching the earth’s surface is due to clouds, it has been hypothesized that global horizontal irradiance attenuation and its temporal variability at a given location could be characterized simply by cloud properties at that location. This hyp...
