    Bird Simple Clear Sky Broadband Solar Radiation Model

    Based on NREL Excel implementation by Daryl R. Myers [1, 2].

    Bird and Hulstrom define the zenith as the "angle between a line to the sun
    and the local zenith". There is no distinction in the paper between solar
    zenith and apparent (or refracted) zenith, but the relative airmass is
    defined using the Kasten 1966 expression, which requires apparent zenith.
    Although the formulation for calculated zenith is never explicitly defined
    in the report, since the purpose was to compare existing clear sky models
    with "rigorous radiative transfer models" (RTM) it is possible that apparent
    zenith was obtained as output from the RTM. However, the implentation
    presented in PVLIB is tested against the NREL Excel implementation by Daryl
    Myers which uses an analytical expression for solar zenith instead of
    apparent zenith.

    Parameters
    ----------
    zenith : numeric
        Solar or apparent zenith angle in degrees - see note above
    airmass_relative : numeric
        Relative airmass
    aod380 : numeric
        Aerosol optical depth [cm] measured at 380[nm]
    aod500 : numeric
        Aerosol optical depth [cm] measured at 500[nm]
    precipitable_water : numeric
        Precipitable water [cm]
    ozone : numeric
        Atmospheric ozone [cm], defaults to 0.3[cm]
    pressure : numeric
        Ambient pressure [Pa], defaults to 101325[Pa]
    dni_extra : numeric
        Extraterrestrial radiation [W/m^2], defaults to 1364[W/m^2]
    asymmetry : numeric
        Asymmetry factor, defaults to 0.85
    albedo : numeric
        Albedo, defaults to 0.2

    Returns
    -------
    clearsky : DataFrame (if Series input) or OrderedDict of arrays
        DataFrame/OrderedDict contains the columns/keys
        ``'dhi', 'dni', 'ghi', 'direct_horizontal'`` in  [W/m^2].

    Determine clear sky GHI, DNI, and DHI from Ineichen/Perez model

    Implements the Ineichen and Perez clear sky model for global horizontal
    irradiance (GHI), direct normal irradiance (DNI), and calculates
    the clear-sky diffuse horizontal (DHI) component as the difference
    between GHI and DNI*cos(zenith) as presented in [1, 2]. A report on clear
    sky models found the Ineichen/Perez model to have excellent performance
    with a minimal input data set [3]. 
    
    Default values for montly Linke turbidity provided by SoDa [4, 5].

    Parameters
    -----------
    time : pandas.DatetimeIndex
    
    location : pvlib.Location
    
    linke_turbidity : None or float
        If None, uses ``LinkeTurbidities.mat`` lookup table.
    
    solarposition_method : string
        Sets the solar position algorithm. 
        See solarposition.get_solarposition()
    
    zenith_data : None or Series
        If None, ephemeris data will be calculated using ``solarposition_method``.
    
    airmass_model : string
        See pvlib.airmass.relativeairmass().
    
    airmass_data : None or Series
        If None, absolute air mass data will be calculated using 
        ``airmass_model`` and location.alitude.
    
    interp_turbidity : bool
        If ``True``, interpolates the monthly Linke turbidity values
        found in ``LinkeTurbidities.mat`` to daily values.

    Returns
    --------
    DataFrame with the following columns: ``ghi, dni, dhi``.

    Notes
    -----
    If you are using this function
    in a loop, it may be faster to load LinkeTurbidities.mat outside of
    the loop and feed it in as a keyword argument, rather than
    having the function open and process the file each time it is called.

    Determine clear sky GHI, DNI, and DHI from Ineichen/Perez model

    Implements the Ineichen and Perez clear sky model for global horizontal
    irradiance (GHI), direct normal irradiance (DNI), and calculates
    the clear-sky diffuse horizontal (DHI) component as the difference
    between GHI and DNI*cos(zenith) as presented in [1, 2]. A report on clear
    sky models found the Ineichen/Perez model to have excellent performance
    with a minimal input data set [3].

    Default values for montly Linke turbidity provided by SoDa [4, 5].

    Parameters
    -----------
    time : pandas.DatetimeIndex

    latitude : float

    longitude : float

    altitude : float

    linke_turbidity : None or float
        If None, uses ``LinkeTurbidities.mat`` lookup table.

    solarposition_method : string
        Sets the solar position algorithm.
        See solarposition.get_solarposition()

    zenith_data : None or Series
        If None, ephemeris data will be calculated using ``solarposition_method``.

    airmass_model : string
        See pvlib.airmass.relativeairmass().

    airmass_data : None or Series
        If None, absolute air mass data will be calculated using
        ``airmass_model`` and location.alitude.

    interp_turbidity : bool
        If ``True``, interpolates the monthly Linke turbidity values
        found in ``LinkeTurbidities.mat`` to daily values.

    Returns
    --------
    DataFrame with the following columns: ``ghi, dni, dhi``.

    Notes
    -----
    If you are using this function
    in a loop, it may be faster to load LinkeTurbidities.mat outside of
    the loop and feed it in as a keyword argument, rather than
    having the function open and process the file each time it is called.

    Bird Simple Clear Sky Broadband Solar Radiation Model

    Based on NREL Excel implementation by Daryl R. Myers [1, 2].

    Bird and Hulstrom define the zenith as the "angle between a line to the sun
    and the local zenith". There is no distinction in the paper between solar
    zenith and apparent (or refracted) zenith, but the relative airmass is
    defined using the Kasten 1966 expression, which requires apparent zenith.
    Although the formulation for calculated zenith is never explicitly defined
    in the report, since the purpose was to compare existing clear sky models
    with "rigorous radiative transfer models" (RTM) it is possible that apparent
    zenith was obtained as output from the RTM. However, the implentation
    presented in PVLIB is tested against the NREL Excel implementation by Daryl
    Myers which uses an analytical expression for solar zenith instead of
    apparent zenith.

    Parameters
    ----------
    zenith : numeric
        Solar or apparent zenith angle in degrees - see note above
    airmass_relative : numeric
        Relative airmass
    aod380 : numeric

    aod500 : numeric
        Aerosol optical depth [cm] measured at 500[nm]
    precipitable_water : numeric
        Precipitable water [cm]
    ozone : numeric
        Atmospheric ozone [cm], defaults to 0.3[cm]
    pressure : numeric
        Ambient pressure [Pa], defaults to 101325[Pa]
    dni_extra : numeric
        Extraterrestrial radiation [W/m^2], defaults to 1364[W/m^2]
    asymmetry : numeric
        Asymmetry factor, defaults to 0.85
    albedo : numeric
        Albedo, defaults to 0.2

    Returns

        DataFrame/OrderedDict contains the columns/keys
        ``'dhi', 'dni', 'ghi', 'direct_horizontal'`` in  [W/m^2].

    Determine clear sky GHI, DNI, and DHI from Ineichen/Perez model

    Implements the Ineichen and Perez clear sky model for global horizontal
    irradiance (GHI), direct normal irradiance (DNI), and calculates
    the clear-sky diffuse horizontal (DHI) component as the difference
    between GHI and DNI*cos(zenith) as presented in [1, 2]. A report on clear
    sky models found the Ineichen/Perez model to have excellent performance
    with a minimal input data set [3].

    Parameters
    -----------
    time : pandas.DatetimeIndex
    
    location : pvlib.Location
    
    linke_turbidity : None or float
        If None, uses ``LinkeTurbidities.mat`` lookup table.
    
    solarposition_method : string
        Sets the solar position algorithm. 
        See solarposition.get_solarposition()
    
    zenith_data : None or pandas.Series
        If None, ephemeris data will be calculated using ``solarposition_method``.
    
    airmass_model : string
        See pvlib.airmass.relativeairmass().
    
    airmass_data : None or pandas.Series
        If None, absolute air mass data will be calculated using 
        ``airmass_model`` and location.alitude.
    
    interp_turbidity : bool
        If ``True``, interpolates the monthly Linke turbidity values
        found in ``LinkeTurbidities.mat`` to daily values.

    Returns
    --------
    DataFrame with the following columns: ``GHI, DNI, DHI``.

    Notes
    -----
    If you are using this function
    in a loop, it may be faster to load LinkeTurbidities.mat outside of
    the loop and feed it in as a variable, rather than
    having the function open the file each time it is called.

    An experimental function that computes all of the modeling steps
    necessary for calculating power or energy for a PV system at a given
    location.

    Parameters
    ----------
    times : DatetimeIndex
        Times at which to evaluate the model.

    latitude : float.
        Positive is north of the equator.
        Use decimal degrees notation.

    longitude : float.
        Positive is east of the prime meridian.
        Use decimal degrees notation.

    module_parameters : None, dict or Series
        Module parameters as defined by the SAPM.

    inverter_parameters : None, dict or Series
        Inverter parameters as defined by the CEC.

    irradiance : None or DataFrame
        If None, calculates clear sky data.
        Columns must be 'dni', 'ghi', 'dhi'.

    weather : None or DataFrame
        If None, assumes air temperature is 20 C and
        wind speed is 0 m/s.
        Columns must be 'wind_speed', 'temp_air'.

    surface_tilt : float or Series
        Surface tilt angles in decimal degrees.
        The tilt angle is defined as degrees from horizontal
        (e.g. surface facing up = 0, surface facing horizon = 90)

    surface_azimuth : float or Series
        Surface azimuth angles in decimal degrees.
        The azimuth convention is defined
        as degrees east of north
        (North=0, South=180, East=90, West=270).

    orientation_strategy : None or str
        The strategy for aligning the modules.
        If not None, sets the ``surface_azimuth`` and ``surface_tilt``
        properties of the ``system``.

    transposition_model : str
        Passed to system.get_irradiance.

    solar_position_method : str
        Passed to location.get_solarposition.

    airmass_model : str
        Passed to location.get_airmass.

    altitude : None or float
        If None, computed from pressure. Assumed to be 0 m
        if pressure is also None.

    pressure : None or float
        If None, computed from altitude. Assumed to be 101325 Pa
        if altitude is also None.

    **kwargs
        Arbitrary keyword arguments.
        See code for details.
