Thanks for your information.  It's very helpful.

what solar data you have but the Perez All Weather Sky model is 
useful for getting to Direct Normal Radiation and Diffuse Horizontal 
Radiation.   (There exists fortran code from an ASHRAE research 
project that implements this model.)   Methods for getting to 
Horizontal IR Intensity (or Sky Cover if you prefer) are more 
obscure; one simple method is by Auer and implemented in TRNSYS 
Type69.

believe this would introduce much error as long as the elevations 
are similar.
