The impact of different cloud types on solar forecasting

A team of researchers have analyzed the impact of different cloud types on solar irradiance predictions. They found prediction models that factor in the physics of how clouds interact with sunlight are more accurate than models that do not consider cloud types. A research team has explored how different cloud types impact solar forecasting. The scientists explained that clouds present a great challenge to solar forecasting due to diverse and complex cloud-radiation interactions, as cloud types exhibit different macrophysical and microphysical properties, as well as different optical characteristics, ...
