Geospatial modeling of solar radiation to explore solar energy potential in Papua New Guinea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Climatology and meteorology are essentially driven by the incoming solar radiation and the latter’s latitudinal distribution. The total amount of incoming solar radiation, duration or day-length and the seasonal distribution of radiation have also the leading implication in researches in agricultural sciences. With the reality of climate change looming large, with its plausible para- phernalia on the humankind, it is obvious that the rising demand for clean energy sources will swing the needle of research towards ‘the optimum harnessing of solar energy’ regime. In a specified latitudinal expanse, topography is a major factor that determines the spatial
