Downward longwave radiation categories in Nigeria

Deep learning and regression modelling of cloudless downward longwave radiation

“…The strength of the wind is strongest in April and weakest in November, and those 2 months have the highest clear days. While the moist south-westerly wind dominates during the rainy season, the dry northeasterly wind controls the dry season, and the beginning of the dominance of both winds in April and November corresponds with low atmospheric cloud cover [83,84,87].…”

“…Atmospheric radiation in the wavelength region of 4-100 μm that originates from the sun and often interacts with atmospheric constituents while travelling to the earth's surface is known as downward longwave radiation (DLR) [50,83,123]. DLR is part of the energy budget balance of the earth's surface, and it is useful for evapotranspiration, plant water demand, greenhouse effect, global warming detection, solar thermal and photovoltaic applications, meteorology, climate model, ecology, hydrology, etc.…”

“…Atmospheric constituents that interact with DLR include O 2 , CO 2 , O 3 , H 2 O, CO, aerosols, etc. DLR also influences geographic parameters like the land cover, latitude, elevation and longitude [23,27,30,83,109,123].…”
