Decoupling the effects of clear atmosphere and clouds to simplify calculations of the broadband solar irradiance at ground level
In the case of infinite plane-parallel single- and double-layered cloud, the solar irradiance at ground level computed by a radiative transfer model can be approximated by the product of the irradiance under clear atmosphere and a modification factor due to cloud properties and ground albedo only.
