© 2014 Elsevier Ltd. Daily solar irradiance data collected from 144 surface stations across Australia over a 23. year period is analyzed to determine patterns in cloud absorption. Two statistical models are developed and fitted to the estimated cloud absorption at each station. The first model, whic...
