Inter-relationship between mean-daily irradiation and temperature, and decomposition models for hourly irradiation and temperature (2011)
Journal Article
Gago, E. J., Etxebarria, S., Tham, Y. W., Aldali, Y., & Muneer, T. (2011). Inter-relationship between mean-daily irradiation and temperature, and decomposition models for hourly irradiation and temperature. International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 6, 22-37. https://doi.org/10.1093/ijlct/ctq039

Terrestrial temperature records have existed for centuries. These records are available for very many locations. Temperature is indeed the most widely measured meteorological parameter. In contrast, solar radiation being a parameter of secondary impo...
