Abstract:A multitude of concentrating solar thermal power projects are currently being developed or proposed in many countries. Direct normal irradiance has an important impact on the optical-thermal conversion efficiency and rate of the plants. Though many researches focus on solar radiation, there are not many to emphasize variable air quality in different meteorological conditions. In this paper, aerosol optical depth of the atmosphere based on four wavelengths for three meteorological conditions in China has been e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
