"""
Determine extraterrestrial radiation from day of year.
Specific references for each method are cited in the parameter descriptions
below, while a more general discussion of the different models may also be
found in [1]_ and [2]_.
Parameters
----------
datetime_or_doy : numeric, array, date, datetime, Timestamp, DatetimeIndex
Day of year, array of days of year, or datetime-like object
solar_constant : float, default 1366.1
The solar constant. [Wm⁻²]
method : string, default `spencer`
The method by which the extraterrestrial radiation should be
calculated. Options include: `pyephem`, `spencer` [3]_, `asce` [4]_,
'nrel' [6]_.
epoch_year : int, default 2014
The year in which a day of year input will be calculated. Only
applies to day of year input used with the `pyephem` or `nrel`
methods.
kwargs :
Passed to :py:func:`~pvlib.solarposition.nrel_earthsun_distance`.
Returns
-------
dni_extra : float, array, or Series
The extraterrestrial radiation present in watts per square meter
on a surface which is normal to the sun. Pandas Timestamp and
DatetimeIndex inputs will yield a Pandas TimeSeries. All other
inputs will yield a float or an array of floats.

Hottel and Woertz's model treats the sky as a uniform source of
diffuse irradiance. Thus, the diffuse irradiance from the sky (ground
reflected irradiance is not included in this algorithm) on a tilted
surface can be found from the diffuse horizontal irradiance and the
tilt angle of the surface. A discussion of the origin of the
isotropic model can be found in [2]_.

from the sky (ground reflected irradiance is not included in this

azimuth angle, diffuse horizontal irradiance, global horizontal irradiance,

I_{d} = DHI \frac{1 + \cos\beta}{2} (1 + F' \sin^3(\beta/2))
(1 + F' \cos^2\theta\sin^3\theta_z).
DHI is the diffuse horizontal irradiance, :math:`\beta` is the surface
tilt angle, :math:`\theta_z` is the solar zenith angle, and :math:`\theta`
is the angle of incidence. :math:`F'` is a modulating function to account
for when the sky changes from clear to overcast, and is defined as follows:
.. math::
F' = 1 - (DHI / GHI)^2,
where GHI is the global horiztonal irradiance.

Determine the diffuse irradiance from the sky on a tilted surface using

Returns
-------
poa_sky_diffuse : numeric
The sky diffuse component of the solar radiation.
Notes
-----
The Reindl (1990) model for the sky diffuse irradiance,
:math:`I_d`, is as follows:
.. math::
I_{d} = DHI \left(A \cdot R_b + (1 - A)
\left(\frac{1 + \cos\beta}{2}\right)
\left(1 + \sqrt{\frac{BHI}{GHI}} \sin^3(\beta/2)\right) \right).
:math:`DHI`, :math:`BHI`, and :math:`GHI` are the diffuse horizontal, beam
(direct) horizontal and global horizontal irradiances, respectively.
:math:`A` is the anisotropy index, which is the ratio of the direct normal
irradiance to the direct extraterrestrial irradiation, :math:`R_b` is the
projection ratio, which is defined as the ratio of the cosine of the angle
of incidence (AOI) to the cosine of the zenith angle, and :math:`\beta`
is the tilt angle of the array.
Implementation is based on Loutzenhiser et al.
(2007) [3]_, Equation 8. The beam and ground reflectance portion of the
equation have been removed, therefore the model described here generates
ONLY the diffuse radiation from the sky and circumsolar, so the form of the
equation varies slightly from Equation 8 in [3]_.
