Daily global solar radiation estimate in the South Korea based on geostationary satellite remote sensing

Available solar radiation is an important crop growth monitoring and water balance that determines South Korea´s crop productivity but has been poorly characterized. This paper studied the method of estimates for the available solar energy and crop growth monitoring based on data of Satellite imagery and meteorological observed data between 1982 and 2005 in South Korea. The objectives of this study are: a) assess of daily and monthly global radiation which most closely associated with rice growth; b) estimates for the available solar energy of the South Korea. Results from the study not only monitor the solar radiation in investigation area, but also illustrate the powerful potential to provide information about solar radiation based geostationary satellite imagery data.
