Estimation of Hourly, Daily and Monthly Mean Diffuse Radiation Based on MEO Shadowring Correction
Abstract A statistical estimate model for the anisotropic diffuse fraction as a function of clearness index KT is proposed to estimate hourly, daily and monthly diffuse irradiations. Global, diffuse and direct solar irradiances were provided by the...

Advancing the uncertainty characterisation of cloud masking in passive satellite imagery: Probabilistic formulations for NOAA AVHRR data
Abstract Two alternative methods for probabilistic cloud masking of images from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor have been examined. Both methods are based on Bayesian theory and were trained using data from the...

Coupled tectonic evolution of Andean orogeny and global climate
Abstract The largest tectonic relief breaking the Earth's surface (13km vertically) is at the subduction margin of the Andes, which generates routinely megathrust earthquakes (Mw>8.5) and drives the paradigmatic Andean orogen. Here we present key ...
