Synthesis of time series for the clearness index using a reordering algorithm

Summary Two insolation series, 4 and 8 years long, collected in different sites of the country, are used to contrast the behaviour of a statistical model for the clearness index, developed by the authors. This model is based on the independence between the stationary and the sequential statistic of clearness index series. A set of prospective clearness index coefficients is reordered until acquiring the sequential behaviour. A computer code has been developed to this end.
