Dear Kim,

We measure site global and diffuse global with our research. As yet we have
not started calibrating mathematical models for calculation Diffuse and
Direct Beam from measured Global.
BUT

Associate Professor John Boland has been developing and publishing
mathematical methods for obtaining Diffuse & Direct beam solar radiation
from observed global. We have used his methods in a few validation
exercises. (Associate Professor John Boland, Associate Professor in
Environmental Mathematics),
http://www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/staff/Homepage.asp?Name=john.boland
We established problems with the linearity of previously published methods.
The latest Boland & Ridley model provides a more correct curved form to the
data.  

If anyone is forecasting solar radiation, in Australia, John would know.

Dear Mark,

Thanks for your reply.

I made an algorithm that screens diffuse & beam radiation from global
radiation under clear sky condition 
(reference book: solar engineering of thermal processes).

But I can't find the contents about prediction of solar radiation. 

What I want to know is how can I "forecast" global radiation in future time
(1,2,3..hour or 1,2,3...day later).

Thanks in advance.
