Modeling of solar irradiance from satellite imagery has become the most widely used method for retrieving solar irradiance information under total sky conditions, particularly in the solar energy community. Solar radiation modeling, forecasting, and characterization continue to be broad areas of study, research, and development in the scientific community. This Special Issue contains a small sample of the current activities in this field. Both the environmental and climatology community, as the solar energy world, share a great interest in improving modeling tools and capabilities for obtaining more reliable and accurate knowledge of solar irradiance components worldwide. The work presented in this Special Issue also remarks on the significant role that remote sensing technologies play in retrieving and forecasting solar radiation information.PARmotion vector fieldradiative transferglobal horizontal irradianceevapotranspirationHRVKato bandsunderstory light conditionCalifornia Deltavalidationaerosol impactremote sensingsolar radiationnowcastingIndiacloud categoriesClouds and the Earth Radiant Energy System (CERES)brightness temperatureHimawari-8/Advanced Meteorological Imager (Himawari-8/AHI)water vaporclear sky indexwater resource managementbroadband albedo at the top of the atmosphere (TOA albedo)data fusionsolar energyshortwave radiationAMESISsatellite-derived datasetinsolationsolar variabilitysubcanopy light regimeclustering analysissolar energy systemsforest canopyradianceMSGGOES satellitesradiation modelsolar radiation trendsclear skydownward shortwave radiationreflected shortwave radiation at the top of the atmosphere (RSR)SEVIRIphotosynthetically active radiationsurface solar radiationsolar irradianceearth observationhigh turbidityGeostationary Korea Multi-Purse Satellite/Advanced Meteorological Imager (GK-2A/AMI)Solis schemesolar radiation forecastingsurface energy balancelight attenuationKaskaoutis Dimitris1320430Polo JesúsScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346667903321Solar Radiation, Modelling and Remote Sensing3034297UNINA
