Estimating The Net Surface Shortwave Radiation Using Modis Data

Net Surface Shortwave Radiation (NSSR) is a key quantity for the estimation of net radiation (𝑅𝑛) and 𝑅𝑛 is a key component of the Earth energy balance. The most practical and reliable method for estimating solar radiation is based on remote sensing because remote sensing observation values are practical than location based measurements. It has been observed that existing ancillary data are not sufficient to have an accurate solar radiation estimates due to the limited amount of ground equipments. This research tries to provide accurate solar radiation databasedonthedataandproductsfromModerate…
