Their findings are available in the study “Assessment of the high-resolution estimations of global and diffuse solar radiation using WRF-Solar,” published in Advances in Climate Change Research.

The amount of diffuse solar radiation that reaches the back of a dual-sided photovoltaic (PV) panel determines how much electricity it can produce, as the team described in a paper published last ...

A team of researchers from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) developed a model to simulate the impact of buildings and objects on direct and diffuse solar irradiance in vehicle-integrated ...

While solar storms can create new radiation belts like this, solar storms can also destroy them. A modestly powerful storm in June 2024 reduced the electron-dominated belt, and another storm in ...

A 2021 coronal mass ejection sent energetic particles to Mars, the Earth and the moon, emphasizing the need to prepare human space missions for the dangers of solar radiation.
