“…Modeling the spectral radiation under all-sky conditions is a challenge because of the need to balance the computational burden and errors attributed to the resolution of the spectral bands. As a result, high-spectral-resolution models designed to solve spectral radiation based on fundamental physicse.g., the line-by-line model (Clough et al 2005)are often timeconsuming in computing the absorption coefficients of the molecular species in the atmosphere.…”

“…The alterations in climate extremes have a direct or indirect influence on biotic and abiotic stresses with devastating impacts on agricultural crop production and food security [ 4 ]. Biotic stresses comprising phytopathogens and pests [ 5 ], as well as abiotic stresses including drought [ 6 ], soil salinity [ 6 , 7 ], heavy metals [ 8 , 9 ], flooding [ 10 ], high irradiance [ 11 ], low temperature [ 12 ] and high temperature [ 13 ], can cause intensified impacts on plant growth, physiology, metabolism, nutrient acquisition, and ecological desertification. The diverse effects of abiotic stresses on different mechanisms of plants are summarized in Figure 1 .…”

The challenging alterations in climate in the last decades have had direct and indirect influences on biotic and abiotic stresses that have led to devastating implications on agricultural crop production and food security. Extreme environmental conditions, such as abiotic stresses, offer great opportunities to study the influence of different microorganisms in plant development and agricultural productivity. The focus of this review is to highlight the mechanisms of plant growth-promoting microorganisms (especially bacteria and fungi) adapted to environmental induced stresses such as drought, salinity, heavy metals, flooding, extreme temperatures, and intense light. The present state of knowledge focuses on the potential, prospective, and biotechnological approaches of plant growth-promoting bacteria and fungi to improve plant nutrition, physio-biochemical attributes, and the fitness of plants under environmental stresses. The current review focuses on the importance of the microbial community in improving sustainable crop production under changing climatic scenarios.

“…Cloud variability and high SZA (above 70°) has been observed to cause an increase in uncertainty in solar irradiance observations, which includes HEV [ 13 , 33 ]. Some clouds, particularly thin clouds, can appear very bright when they are close to the vicinity of the sun [ 34 , 35 , 36 ], resulting in the forward scattering of sunlight through the optically thin clouds [ 34 ]. Similar visible solar radiation enhancements have been attributed to the reflection from the edges of sharply defined thicker, opaque clouds [ 18 , 34 , 35 , 37 ].…”

“…Short durations of increased solar irradiance are often observed when broken clouds intermittently pass by the sun. These durations can last from a few seconds to several minutes [ 34 , 36 , 37 ]. The intermittent increases in brightness can result in temporary visual disabilities and irritation [ 3 ].…”

Solar blue-violet wavelengths (380−455 nm) are at the high energy end of the visible spectrum; referred to as “high energy visible” (HEV). Both chronic and acute exposure to these wavelengths has been often highlighted as a cause for concern with respect to ocular health. The sun is the source of HEV which reaches the Earth’s surface either directly or after scattering by the atmosphere and clouds. This research has investigated the effect of clouds on HEV for low solar elevation (solar zenith angles between 60° and 80°), simulating time periods when the opportunity for ocular exposure in global populations with office jobs is high during the early morning and late afternoon. The enhancement of “bluing” of the sky due to the influence of clouds was found to increase significantly with the amount of cloud. A method is presented for calculating HEV irradiance at sub-tropical latitudes from the more commonly measured global solar radiation (300–3000 nm) for all cases when clouds do and do not obscure the sun. The method; when applied to global solar radiation data correlates well with measured HEV within the solar zenith angle range 60° and 80° (R2 = 0.82; mean bias error (MBE) = −1.62%, mean absolute bias error (MABE) = 10.3% and root mean square error (RMSE) = 14.6%). The technique can be used to develop repeatable HEV hazard evaluations for human ocular health applications
