7. Shadowing Shadowing effect has to be taken into account in the estimate of daily insolation Reflectance is strongly influenced by cloud shadow, specifically it is related to signal reduction and then to a lack of information over the associated pixel In order to assign cloud cover classification over pixels, information about sun position (Solar zenith and azimuth angle) and cloud position need to be calculated. Freitag 24 juli 2009 Shadowing effect is strongly related to solar zenith angle. The increase of solar zenith angle (sunrise and sunset) affects growing areas of the domain.
8. Daily insolation map Freitag 24 juli 2009 Normalized clear sky day-light duration 0 completely Cloudy 1 completely Clear sky Spatial resolution 3.5 Km Combination of informations from cloud mask (parallax corrected) considering shadow effects. Goal: Producatbility of concentrating power plants
9. The differential water vapour absorption in 10.8 μm and 12.0 μm channels (split window channels), allows estimation of water vapour column between surface to top of atmosphere i.e., information about water vapour content is retrieved by differential trasmittance and then differential absorption coefficient in both channels . Water vapour is one of the most important absorber in the atmosphere and strongly influence the incoming solar radiation at the surface.
