About
Xixi Sun is a leading researcher in solar resource assessment and atmospheric remote sensing, with a focus on improving the accuracy of clear-sky irradiance modelling. Her most cited work, "Climatic and Global Validation of Daily MODIS Precipitable Water Data at AERONET Sites for Clear-sky Irradiance Modelling" (2018, 15 citations), addresses a critical bottleneck in solar energy estimation: the role of precipitable water (PW) as a highly influential variable in radiation modelling. By rigorously validating MODIS satellite PW data against AERONET ground-based measurements on a global scale, Sun demonstrated that gridded satellite information can be reliably used for solar modelling, directly supporting more accurate solar resource assessments. This contribution is vital for the renewable energy industry, where precise solar data underpins project planning and grid integration. Her work bridges atmospheric science and applied energy research, offering practical solutions for solar energy deployment. Sun’s research continues to advance the reliability of satellite-derived inputs, making her a key voice in the intersection of climatology and sustainable energy technology.
