A new model to predict direct normal instantaneous solar radiation, based on laws of spectroscopy, kinetic theory and thermodynamics

The attenuation of solar radiation by the atmosphere is caused by two simultaneous processes: (a) scattering by air molecules and by the atmospheric turbidity; and (b) absorption by O3, H2O and CO2. Since the atmospheric turbidity is closely related to horizontal visibility, V (meteorological optical range), the terrestrial direct normal solar radiation can be expressed as: Ibn=Ionexp(−NsKs−KtV−NoKo−NcKc−NwKw)mƒ
