What is Nighttime Cloud Index for Solar Forecasting about?

This document describes a method for short-term forecasting of surface solar irradiance using Meteosat satellite data. The method uses a nighttime cloud index derived from brightness temperature differences between infrared channels to extend forecasts to the hours before sunrise. A statistical model assigns cloud index values based on brightness temperatures and cloud classes. Forecasts are generated by extrapolating cloud motion vectors from consecutive nighttime and daytime cloud index images. The new ap
