The PVSPEC model for the spectral mismatch factor was recently merged (#2072) but an alternative parameterisation of the mismatch factor as a function of air mass and clear sky index is available, namely the JRC model. I think providing pvlib users with a choice of model would be a valuable enhancement.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implement JRC model using the PVSPEC function as a template.

I think these are the same ESRA model (?) ---if so, which citation should I use?
As far as I can tell, the model used to estimate air mass is not stated, nor whether it is relative or absolute air mass. In the docs, would it suffice just to write something like "the model used to estimate the air mass (denoted AM) is not stated." ?

The measurements facility is roughly 220m above sea level, so the difference in absolute and relative AM may not be that significant? Talking from my unknowledgeable point of view. We could maybe ask the authors?
I've seen you've changed from an unqualified airmass to airmass_absolute in the PR. Have you got into contact with the authors, have you found that information anywhere or did I convince you? My guess intentions just were to speed up some initial work.
@echedey-ls I have already reached out but no response yet. I will leave it as airmass as that is what is written in the paper. No reason to assume otherwise. Citations of the manuscript do the same, e.g. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2013.05.011
