Schematic diagram of the entire modeling exercise;

Convert latitude of the Calculate the inverse relative distance (dr ) between earth and sun, Assign a Day of Year
station into radians (Ø) to Every Date (DOY)

Sun Calculate sunset hour angle (ωs in radians) Calculate solar declination angle (δ in radians)
Temperature
(≈ 5800 K)

Calculate the total spectral emittance

from Sun using Stefan-Boltzmann Law

Calculate Solar Constant (Eo) using Calculate extra-terrestrial incident radiation (Rdaily-ex)
inverse square law

Acquire daily Tmax, Tmin, and Station Calculate incoming/incident solar radiation at the earth surface
Observed/Measured Incident Solar (Rdaily)
radiation at Carrot Creek AGDM
station for Year 2016 and 2017

Compare modelled (Rdaily) vs.

Plot a graph between (Rdaily-ex) and
Actual/Observed (Rdaily) using r2 and
(Rdaily) Vs. DOY
RMSE etc.
