Abstract The MODIS aerosol product and cloud product data are combined with the atmospheric radiation transmission model RSTAR to calculate the surface solar radiation under sunny and cloudy conditions.The results are compared with the ground observed values of Xianghe integrated radiation station.It shows that the simulated value and observed value have good correlation.The R² and RMSE are 0.95 and 38.8 W/m² in the clear skies，while 0.88 and 88.2 W/m²in the cloudy skies.The results show that more cloud\|aerosol mixed states is in Xianghe station，while MODIS can only invert single microphysical parameter of cloud layer，which leads to error of model input parameter，bringing error to the calculation result of surface solar radiation.In order to quantitatively analyze the effect，the RSTAR radiation model was used to calculate the radiance values，and invert f different cloud and aerosol optical thickness，calculating surface solar radiation.The results show that the error of estimation of surface solar radiation is 1.29%~1.56% when the aerosol optical thickness (AOD)is 0.1，compared with the single layer.With the increase of AOD，the effect of AOD increased obviously.The relative error was 17.79%~18.38% when AOD was 1.2.For the heavily polluted areas of North China，it is important to analyze the influence of aerosol on the surface solar radiation under cloud cover，which is very important to improve the calculation accuracy of surface solar radiation under cloud conditions.
