While Klaeber’s widely accepted binary glossing of...

Assuming a simple pyrheliometric station model, an equation is derived relating the amount of insolation Q from a sky whose fraction C is covered by clouds, to the insolation &c, arriving at the same surface from a cloudless sky. The equation is of the form
