AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the difficulty in locating a specific article titled "A numerical solar radiation model based on standard meteorological observations" by Atwater and Ball, published in 1978. The user expresses frustration that search engine results only return the reference line instead of the actual article. Suggestions include checking the journal's website directly, such as searching for "Solar Energy vol XX," and verifying if the user's institution has access to the journal. If access is unavailable, contacting the library for potential archival access or ordering the article is recommended. Ultimately, the user successfully found the article through the library, which had compiled it under a slightly different title.

I was trying to search an article on the internet
the 'reference line' is
"Atwater, M. A., and J. T. Ball, 1978: A numerical solar radiation model based on standard meteorological observations. Review paper. Solar Energy, 21, 163-170"
However the most frustrating fact are the results return by the search engine are the 'reference line' and not the article itself.
Could anyone give some suggestion on what should I do now?

A lot journal's will have their previous volumes online. Best place to start if google doesn't kick something up straight away is at the journal's web page (i.e. google Solar Energy vol XX). Next step is to find out if you or you're institution has access to the article.

Do you know if you're institution has access to this journal? (i.e. log in via Athens or something)

If not it may be worth asking the library if they a) Have the journal in their archives or b) can order it in.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
