... location. Findings The proposed model can provide very good forecasting of solar radiation for various time horizons. However, the variation of shadow features between time steps must be included in the dynamic model to forecast accurate GHI values. Research limitations/implications In this paper...

... of a Lagrangian short‐range puff model and a Eulerian long‐range transport model. It has been run and validated against measurements from the two European Tracer Experiment (ETEX) releases and from the Chernobyl accident. An air pollution forecast system, THOR, is under development, to make forecasts of various...
